Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[samaelrocks]

Yeah, right. Once speculators find out that we are allowing the exploration in cheaper areas with suspected high yeilds, they'll bring the price of a barrel of oil well under $90 which translates to a dollar decrease in gas prices.

It's the speculators (the Market) you have to convince of high supplies which will bring the price down. Not a bunch of whining liberals that don't want to drill.

Note this does NOT discount using incentives to increase R&D into alternative energy sources. Neither candidate will turn down this type of initiative in today's climate... depending on the pork attached.
