greenspandan Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Extreme Greenies, see now why we push "drill, baby, drill" of known reserves & promising finds in safe onshore places like ANWR? Now do you get it? what a joke. it's a temporary spike, as i stated this morning. anyway, the solution is to end the addiction, not ramp up the supply. higher prices of oil would be the greatest possible boon to the environment. no alternatives will EVER be developed as long as gas is cheap.

mikered30 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hear that sound? That is the sound of people selling their SUVs and air haulers that were bought in the end of 2008 when gas was below $2 a gallon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the sound of people selling their SUVs and air haulers that were bought in the end of 2008 when gas was below $2 a gallon. I'm sorry but when in '08 was gas under $2.00 a gallon? Back in '08 gas was at one of the highest prices, reaching almost $4.00 a gallon I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The litigation, which seeks to block construction of five of the solar thermal projects, underscores the growing risks of building large-scale renewable energy plants in environmentally delicate areas.

Thiebear Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Again: If you want something that will take you to say Washington D.C. to Atlantic Beach N.C. and back on 1 tank of gas: but can still manage to merge onto the highway. The Jetta TDI deisel will get you approx. 700 miles per tank of gas. If you switch it to biodeisel you need storage of thos 50Gallon drums but you smell great from behind.

@DCGoldPants Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 You look at Cuba. Cuba is going to allow China to drill for oil within 80 miles of Florida. And Florida had a 300-mile limit. So in essence, we have China drilling for American oil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homercles82 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Gas can go up as high as it wants but with oil prices rising all the products created from the byproducts of refinement, everything in this world will go up in price. Plastic prices alone will cause a major issue. Oil runs the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree.... ....When we have a cheap and readily available alternative to oil and gas. And the cheap (price wise) and readily available cars that run on that alternative. Otherwise, that will solve nothing and make things unnecessarily worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMP Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 You look at Cuba. Cuba is going to allow China to drill for oil within 80 miles of Florida. And Florida had a 300-mile limit. So in essence, we have China drilling for American oil! If it only it werea actually true: "Is there drilling happening, now? "No," Pinon said. Here's why: The decades-old embargo between the United States and Cuba makes oil production much more difficult for Cuba. Under terms of the embargo, Cuba would not be able to send its oil to the United States to be refined into gasoline and other petroleum products. And the companies drilling off Cuba's coast wouldn't be able to rely on American parts and machinery for drilling. Trying to link China and Cuba when talking U.S. oil policy is nothing new. In 2008, then-Vice President Dick Cheney told directors of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that "oil is being drilled right now 60 miles off the coast of Florida. But we're not doing it, the Chinese are, in cooperation with the Cuban government." Unless oil goes up a lot more, nobody is going to drill oil in the gulf off of Cuba if we don't want them to. http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/stateroundup/article1085129.ece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
