How does that translate into higher grocery prices?

The cost of energy.

Show me the numbers then. We are pumping more oil from U.S. soil than
ever before.

The world and the US is using a lot more oil too.

It is quite easy to say it was the Bush policies that increased US
energy production. You don't see the results of things like this for
years.

That is why all of those who subscribe to it won't affect oil prices for
10 years asshole should be shot. Many people understand that you have to
put forth energy to secure your needs in the future you will muddle
along in poverty forever.

If you don't build the house today, you can't live in it tomorrow. If
you don't drill for the oil today you won't have it tomorrow.

Oil is a finite resource, so no matter how much you drill, you still
won't secure your future with oil.

Lebanon used to have trees, ceder trees, in massive quantities. Take a
look at their flag. They chopped them down to build houses and to burn
as fuel. What do they use as energy now?

I really don't understand you greenies. The sooner we use up all of the
oil the sooner we will be forced to move to the next source of energy.

We in the US have turned our food into fuel? It was a stupid thing to
do.

Ethanol has almost half the energy that gasoline has. When you compare
the two fuels the cost of producing the equivalent energy is way out of
whack. Gasoline gives you the bigger bang for the buck and you can eat
the corn.

As I said, fossil fuel is a finite resource, you can't secure your
future in something that will eventually run out. Now, WTF did you get
the idea that I'm what you call a "greenie"? I am glad to see however,
unlike a lot of people here, you are willing to go to new forms of
energy.

Who is saying that we have to secure our future with oil? We have many
energy sources available. At this time the fossil fuels are the most
affordable.

Kevin, I don't care if you are a greenie or not. Your positions with
respect to energy are the same as the greenies.

We will go to new forms of energy when they become economically viable
or when they are the only ones available. I am a pragmatist when it
comes to energy. Dino fuels are the most cost effective right now and
there is no reason that we should be moving away from coal, oil and
natural gas.

The cost of oil in the US has increased due to liberal monetary
policies.
