Why do you think the united states hasnt built any new or additional
refineries in the last 30 years ? The reason we are short on gas, is the
fact that we do not have the ability to produce fuel.

Bush is reaping in $$ he is a major stock holder in the oil companies, so
he
is happy to see the price go up. Why do you think he hasnt put more
interest
in alternative fuel ? It would cut down on his profits .


Ed,
Remember 1973 and what happened with oil and gas prices? Has any Prez, dem
or rep, done anything since then to cure the problem?
Know why?
Because without an outlet to sell oil, about $90 billion, give or take,
arabs would have nothing. Think terrorism is bad now?
In all reality, a whole lot of nations would be bankrupt and the whole
world would soon be up the old creek without a paddle (boating related
reply).
