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.

I have said for a long time, we will run out of water, long before we
run out of oil. We are seeing that in our food prices right now far
more than the cost of energy. There are things you can substitute for
oil but there is nothing else to replace "fresh" water.
You may be able to desalinate enough drinking water for most of the US
but you will never be able to get enough to irrigate our crops.

While this is all true, the fact remains that fossil fuel is a finite
resource.
