It's bad for Bush because the public will develop an unfavorable opinon
of any politician leading the country when energy prices go way up. While Bush isn't going to stand for reelection in 2008 (unless somebody amends the Constitution to declare him "Emperor"), the Repubs will be counting on him to stump for RW candidates in the mid-terms next year. I imagine that many Repubs are nervous about eroding public confidence in GWB. It's bad for the US because increased energy prices stimulate inflation, usually followed by restrictive monetary policy, increased government deficits, etc. It's bad for boating for obvious reasons. I spoke to a broker friend yesterday who reported he literally can't (almost) give away a nice boat with twin 454's. "People ask me how much gas it burns, I tell them about 50 gallons an hour, they start multiplying by $3 a gallon and they're gone, gone, gone." Family budgets stretched farther than ever to purchase gasoline for family cars and to pay for home heating oil have fewer "left over" dollars for something expendable- llike a boat. |

"ed" wrote in message ... Explain why he isnt pushing for more alternative fuels in the united states. If he has our interest, one would think he wouldnt want our United States be controled by foreign oil. Ed Bush is a proponent of Ethanol, which is home grown from corn. I think he is pushing for alternatives. Oil is up because Chinese factories are running generators powered by diesel to run them, since the power grid in China sucks. You can thank those shopping trips to walmart for the oil prices being up. Currently Chinese demand is running oil and steel prices out of control. |
Why do you think he hasnt put more interest
in alternative fuel ? It would cut down on his profits . Ed === Ed, when has any president put interest in alternative fuel? Oil is up because Chinese factories are running generators powered by diesel to run them, since the power grid in China sucks. You can thank those shopping trips to walmart for the oil prices being up. Currently Chinese demand is running oil and steel prices out of control. China now buys 40% of the world oil market. Not counting scrap and raw materials to be turned into goods to come back to us in export sales. as far as natural recourses go, China is holding the bag, andis squeezing everybody else's. |

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). Gordon |

Bush has done absolutely nothing to try to ease petrol prices. He doesn't even engage in jawboning the multinationals that control oil refining and distribution. That's because his family is neck-deep in the petrol business, and the higher prices go, the more his family makes. He's pushing more nuclear power plants. It's criminal that we have so few nuclear power plants. Harry, what oil stocks does Bush own. I must not have used the right key words as I can't find any. -- If it is Bad for Bush, It is Good for the United States. |
Actually Jimmy Carter did, he was the one that started the interest in
alternative fuel. Seems like the Republicans who is for the Oil companies doesnt want to. Just my opinion of course ;o) Ed "Tim" wrote in message oups.com...

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. "Gordon" wrote in message ... "ed" wrote in message ...

Here you go Jim: Don't Blame OPEC; Higher Gas Prices Are Almost Entirely Bush's Fault Dave Lindorff, ILCA Associate Member What is making oil so expensive is not energy policy or even SUV's, dangerous as those are for the environment. It's Bush's massive deficits and his willful destruction of the US dollar that has gas selling at $2.30 a gallon and rising. There's been a lot of hand-wringing going on among economists and politicians, and a lot of fuming at the gas pump by consumers over the soaring price of oil over the last two years. Increasingly, concern is being expressed by treasury officials and economists about the negative impact soaring oil prices and related gas prices could have on the overall economy. Politicians--especially Republicans--are also fretting, since the thousands of extra dollars consumers are now spending on electricity, home heating and gasoline have, for all but the wealthiest taxpayers, more than cancelled out any minimal benefits they saw from the president's tax cuts. What's wrong with this picture? The focus of all this anger and angst is oil prices. As a result, everyone is looking at culprits in the wrong place, blaming wasteful energy use, OPEC production quotas, monopolistic oil companies and/or conniving oil traders. In fact the real culprit behind these higher oil prices is the Bush Administration, which, thanks to its massive deficits and tax give-aways to the rich and corporations, to its war spending, and to its failure to combat unprecedented and ever-larger trade deficits, has been causing the dollar to plunge in value. Oil is a commodity and it is priced in dollars. If dollars decline in value, then the price of oil will rise in inverse proportion. One need only look at Europe to see what this means. Over the period from February 1, 2003, just before the start of the Iraq War, when oil prices began to rise in earnest, to Feb. 1, 2005, the price of a barrel of oil in dollars rose about 30 percent, from $30.13 a barrel to $42.91 a barrel. But over that same period of time, the Euro, Europe's new combined currency, rose 21 percent against the U.S. dollar, from .93 Euros to the dollar in February, 2003 to just .77 to the U.S. dollar in February, 2005. For Europeans, then, the net rise in oil prices over the two years of the Iraq War has been just 9 percent, or less than 5 percent per year--hardly the kind of energy inflation that would cause economic problems. And this situation is likely to get only worse. Some Wall Street oil industry analysts are now predicting that oil could, before too long, hit $100 a barrel. What they are saying really is that the dollar is likely to fall in value by 50 percent. Should that happen, though, the OPEC states would likely at some point along the way decide that it is ridiculous for them to continue pricing oil in dollars, since the piles of dollars filling their bank vaults will be losing value faster than their oil wells are being drained. At some point, the oil producing states, including Russia and Norway, will inevitably switch to pricing their oil in a basket of currencies--a basket that would prominently feature the Euro and probably the Japanese Yen. At that point there would be little left to prop up the dollar, and it could end up becoming little better than a Third World currency. |

I must not have used the right key words as I can't find any. I used the key word Bush (this would apply to his family also) and no Hits with OIL other than the old news where he lost money. The Senior Bushes (grandparents) were involved in producing equipment for oil fields and railroads. Bush senior was involved with Zapita oil exploration but it's speculated that Zapita was a CIA front. "his family is neck-deep in the petrol ????????????????? Is this true???????????? business, and the higher prices go, the more his family makes." If it is Bad for Bush, It is Good for the United States. |

The current increase in prices (not the ones cited over the last two years, they are most likely the result of the dropping value of the dollar) is probably due to supply/demand issues as China, India and other developing third world countries make their needs known on the world market for oil. |
His huge deficit, while still spending like a drunken sailor has devalued the dollar. You mean, like the democrat hero FDR did during the great depression?

Well....if you're over the age of maybe 18, you may have noticed that prices of most, if not all investments are subject to the mood of the investors. If there's freezing weather in Florida, orange juice futures may crank up in price. Your president created a similar situation in the Middle East, which has affected investors in oil. The issue is definitely NOT supply. It's perception. If you president had not fiddled in places he did not belong, it's highly likely we would not be seeing such high oil prices. |

I should have also mentioned the pipe industry is booming in China. They have to transport oil from the inside of the country to the populated areas and for export. We aren't talking about 8" or 12" welded tube lines, we are talking about 24" and larger. When I was pricing a new galvanized sailboat trailer last fall, the salesman blamed the Chinese for his increases in price. |
