[quote name='phinsup' date='Aug 31 2005, 12:44 AM']If you read my post, you'll notice I said two things.... we use our oil AFTER we use foreign sources ( i didn't say we NEVER use our oil) and that there are wells capped in Alaska that have never been touched, i didnt say EVERY well in alaska was capped and untouched. Love the smart *** statement, just too bad it didn't make much sense 
Breaking it down into something a little easier to understand, it's like saying "he's a tightwad, he never spends a dime." See we know that he has to spend something otherwise he wouldn't have a house, eat or survive, but figuratively speaking the person would rather "forget his wallet" and have you buy then pay.
Like Pete said there is no quick solution, whatever you do now won't have an immediate effect on oil prices.... assuming it ever does. The Alyeska Pipeline which is the pipeline that moved oil from the North Slope to prince william sound is already built, in fact it's the pipeline the afformentioned vessel was gathering oil from, the pipeline is capable of carrying 2 million barrels of oil DAILY and has been operational since the mid 70's.
What bush will do is release the oil and have the oil companies pay it back with interest to the reserves..... if he releases the reserves. It's pretty much a joke at this point, gas co's know the usage doesn't change no matter what they charge, so why worry about keeping the prices down?

Oh, ok I understand. Kinda like how I can NEVER touch my *****. But still use it.

Phins is right. The cost to pay American workers and health benifits and pay the animal right/ecology law suits and **** is what make it cheaper to import than to go into FULL domestic production.THe cost of domestic production is more expensive. Same guy complaining about cost of gas and save the animals is the one bitchin about not making a enough money and having the extra benefits........
Want it both ways, big lifestyle and not pay for it. That why foreginors can make $14 a month , no homes , no OSHA and like it! We buy their oil.
