VABills Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 We need some more places to refine it too. 424774[/snapback] I agree. I believe we have some military bases being closed, some of them Navy with ports. Pretty easy in and out. Nice locations for refineries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erynthered Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 (!@#$ the spelling, don’t read this then) I'm having a hard time dealing with this ANWAR thing. Its not the problem, we can get enough oil if we want. We brought the middle east into the 21 (or 22 century, depending on who you believe) It was in our best interest to do that. The big three had the capabilities of developing a much better car, more fuel efficient. Wasn’t gonna happen. Just think of the jobs that could be lost due to a car that got 30MPG back in the 70's, or a car that had a set of plugs last longer than 15 or 25 thousand miles. In the grand scheme of things, the global plan was for the middle east to catch up, while sustaining our economy at the same time. There is enough oil to bring us into the 22 century and beyond, we're just 50 years behind.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let''s just drill the puppy and get us a nice surplus and home supply of oil. 424769[/snapback] uh huh, 10 years from now we'll get enough out of there to last a year. Great idea. How about making real choices that solve the prroblem... forget the Bush scams that don't solve anything but help GOP Contributions from the drillers. Higher MPG. Dems and especially the GOP should be ashamed of themselves for not executing this quick fix and doing something that would actually help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to American enginuity and resourcefullness?? Greed, lobbyists and money has corrupted our whore politicians so much that we are paying for it up the butt just so select industries can prosper.

We pulled them through the sand storms. Now they control us, for lack of a better term. Both the Dim’s and the rep’ub have done it, cant you see that?

You are 100% correct. and why? because of our greed and need for political money from those who benefit from these policies. There is no way we can eliminate the towel heads resources unless we make some hard choices and get on with what made this nation great... No amount of drilling here can replace arab oil... even if it could it is backwards thinking and does nothing to move on to a brighter, cleaner, self reliant future of energy.

The back bone of this economy for many years has been the car industries. What would you do to the Millions or so unionized that live off of the tit. Any ideas? Do you realize how much it takes to create a prototype car? And how many years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW's get 40 now, it is easy, and it won't put millions out of work.... that comment is extreme and false. We have the tech to do it easily. But Oil and Auto are in bed. Can't you see that?
