As I put gas in my car today @ $3.36 per gallon, I thought, why are we not drilling.
China has given us the finger by drilling off Florida, and we still have waco's crying about how we shouldn't.
If they have global warming waco's (I'm sorry, it's climate change), why can't we have Domestic Drilling waco's?
I think I will start my own movement...

We're not drilling in key places because no one has the cajones to tell those tree-hugging whack-jobs to go intercourse themselves. The Caribou will find another place to live. I mean, my goodness.....how long will we allow our economy to be ruled by the militant-environmentalists and terror-sponsoring-middle-eastern countries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally I would be relieved if I could go back to $3.36 per gallon. Much much higher here.
Beyond that, what do you think will happen if the independent truckers give up?
I'm thinking CHAOS!!!!
No offense intended, but this is exactly what the oil companies want us to be thinking. They want us to be longing for the days of $3/gallon push-water. They want us to talk about $3.50/gallon as the "good-old-days". My position is that we should NEVER be satisfied until this stuff is as cheap as a gallon of off-brand drinking water. If we were drilling where we SHOULD be drilling and telling the Arabs and Chavez to bend over and grab their ankles, it could happen. It will simply take the will of the American people to make it happen.
If the truckers give up it would be total chaos. Nothing would get onto store shelves and there would be widespread panic. The crazy part of this equation is that diesel fuel should be half the cost of gasoline because its much cheaper to make. But, they are socking it to the public through the truckers and transportation industry. Its nothing more than a punch in the face, except its not really your face.

In a dirty world...if I have to explain it, you need to watch Sue Johansen (I think that is her name)

I saw something recently about where each dollar spent on gas goes. About 72 cents was for the crude oil and because of large variations in the cost of accessing crude in different places that ranged from almost pure to relatively little profit among the various places where crude is collected.
Even with instant approval for drilling, it will take 10 years before the oil from ANWR will be brought to market, and another 10 years after that to get to 1 million barrels pumped per day. The Department of Energy says that drilling in ANWR will do little in the near term and very little in the long term, reducing gas prices by only one penny.
If you're really concerned about how much it costs to drive around, call your congressman and complain about low cafe standards.
However, I do not want to be in the same position 10 years from now saying we should have done something 10 years ago.
IMHO:
Start drilling here
Go more nuclear

Not really. We said that we weren't there just to take their oil and unfortunately that is true. Where is it? Kind of an expensive way to get a discount on a barrel of oil that we still end out having to buy on the open market just like any other zamboni.
