Oil: Supply vs. Demand

Could it also be part of Big Oils reaction to the new demands for off-shore drilling? Something to tease us into thinking that if they get to take public property ( oil under public land ) and sell it back to us for huge profits, suddenly our gas prices will drop even more?



Big Oil bought McCain for a cool million recently, not because McCain is a "nice guy" but because they see it as an investment in future profits. The expect McCain to tell us what the oil companies want us to hear.



So far no one has suggested that the Oil Companies should pay citizens a royalty check for taking their oil for personal and corporate profits . Alaskans receive a royalty check for oil...shouldn't anyone who's state sits on public owned oil receive a check each year?

Clintons Still Want To Kill Caucuses: The Latest Round

I'm not happy with the system either. But now is not the time to try to muddle things up because it appears that the Clinton's are bitter and non-supportive of their party's candidate.



Hillary may have to ride this one out. She put up a fight and lost. That is what it is about. Only one can win and it wasn't her this time.



I believe there should never be anything other than a popular vote...period. What is the purpose of all this game-playing and conventions anyway...other than an excuse for a party.



Let the people pick their candidates then let them campaign until the election...put away the party hats and get to work.

Why Voters Say they Don't Really Know Barack Obama (and Why They Don't Really Know Much about John McCain, Either)

Never start a fight...but when the other guy throws the first punch...go back swinging.



McCain has plenty of dirty laundry to air without resorting to lies. It would not be a dirty campaign to promote McCain's lies and his past record in Congress etc.



I wonder what McCain's idea of a "patriot" is? There is a whole generation that did not have to fight a war to "prove" themselves a patriot because prior to Bush we have not had a war since Viet Nam. The military of recent years was mostly a good place for poor youth to get a leg up...until they found out their own military did not support their futures.

The Not-So-Great Energy Debate

Let them lease...but with strings attached.

1) Time limits. Produce withing x months or lose the lease.

2) Pay Royalties to citizens in the states where oil is pumped as they do in Alaska. After all it is under public domain so why should private oil companies be allowed to take public property for private profite without paying us for the oil? They have to pay OPEC for oil don't they? Are we equally entitled ?

3) Require that fuel prices will factor in local cost per barrel, not the OPEC price.

4) Establish a fixed "profit margin" over cost for the fuel they sell.

Obama Delivers a Real Energy Plan for America: Efficiency Now, 10% Renewables by 2012, One Million Plug-ins by 2015

We also need 100% electric cars. Most daily driving can be done with today's electric vehicle technology and batteries. Detroit made them once then quit when the pressure was off..destroying all the demo vehicles they had on the road in California.



I have more info here: http://www.reelectnoone.com/electric_car.php



In any case, while it is great to provide incentives to auto makers, if people can't afford to buy them there is a road block. For instance, with the rising cost of gas, how much trade in can someone expect when trading for an electric? Can people even get back what they may owe on their current vehicle? Will people start "walking away" from car loans the way they are being forced to do with mortgages today?



There needs to be incentives to allow people to obtain new vehicles, not just for Detroit to build them, and I am NOT talking tax credit, because many people's incomes are so low that a tax credit is useless to them. There needs to be, instead of a "credit" an actual government trade allowance that can be taken at dealers at time of purchase.
