Next time you hear a politician say he or she will bring down oil prices understand it’s complete [bull shit]. Americans want lower gas prices — cut back. Sell those SUVs. Ride a bike when you can. If every one of us bought 10 percent less gasoline, prices would fall fast. That’s what the candidates should be saying. We need a strong leader who’s honest, smart, courageous and willing to explain dubious associations. That’s what we need.

- Bill O’Reilly on Fox News, March 21, 2008



Yeah but we all know that O'Reilly is a moron. And many of us know that cheap abundant energy is one of the big factors in having a thriving economy (apparently Bill doesn't know this...). The cascade effects are huge.

You are, as usual, an idiot. More oil is being produced now in the US than ever before. More areas are open to drilling than ever before. The US is exporting gasoline for the first time in decades. Obama is no more ant-oil than you are anti-stupid.



Is it possible for these people to do anything but repeat the daily talking point?



Oh the irony

when you drill a lot

Natural gas ends down 2 percent, stays near 10-year low

but


Under Obama, Oil and Gas Production on Federal Lands Is Down 40%
http://blog.heritage.org/2012/01/18/under-obama-oil-and-gas-production-on-federal-lands-is-down-40/


Obama budget raises oil drilling royalties 50 percent
http://grist.org/list/obama-administration-raises-oil-drilling-royalties-50-percent/

And the Obama administration has decided that they’re not paying enough. So the Interior Department’s budget includes a proposal to raise royalties for oil and gas projects by 50 percent.

That means companies will have to pay 18.75 percent in royalties, up from 12.5 percent, to drill on public land.


if it wasnt for oil drilling on public land gas would be $8.00 so what you are saying cuting drilling 40% is the way to lower the price


as usual, an idiot

production doesn't matter
consumption doesn't matter

the only thing that matters is the value of the dollar, which is what oil is priced in. The value of the dollar when priced in commodities is going down and will continue to do so.

actually while this plays a factor.. speculation on middle east turmoil has more to do with this than any other factor.


blame the speculators

It's kinda sad that the Republican 2012 strategy this week seems to be "hope the price of gas keeps going up and stupid people blame Obama for it!"

When Mitt Romney is going to be your eventual top pick, you have to use whatever you have.

speculators can turn a 15% increase into a 20% increase. They can not turn a 15% decrease into a 15% increase.


The role speculation plays in gas prices is highly exaggerated.
