Smoke and mirrors for sure. IMO it is a disgrace this country has not gone forward with an energy bill that reduces our dependency on foreigners. I never thought in this country people would be discussing $4.00 gasoline prices. With the huge reserves in Alaska and off shore we are being directed in this country by the Sierra Club. I love nature as much as anyone however there are safe ways to extract this much needed commodity. Look at the activity in the Gulf of Mexico yet their fishery is thriving. I fear for the future of the bottom 33% of income earners going forward. If energy prices cannot be stablized lock all the doors.
If I ruled the country, I would open up exploration,build a few refineries on the vast abandoned gov't military bases that have been closed and add a few nuclear plants. Jobs, stability,energy independance... Everything would fall into place. Ah we can dream! What we are left with now is Hope... and that doesn't feed a family
