Would you donate "time" to help roll back the price of oil?

If the price of Oil begins to drop then that means that people in my family who work in the Oil industry may loose there job or get a pay cut.\n\nOil companies only make money because of the amount of Oil that is sold. Not price gouging, but the fact that almost $1,000,000,000 are spent each day on Oil by the US citizens. You want prices to drop, QUIT USING OIL!!

yes, and we are far behind other countries in mass transit. I used 10 percent Ethanol 10 years ago. Paid less for it than Gas. The oil companies took it off the market. If HisBushyness had any clue what was going on in America he could fix the problem with one executive order. That will not happen. He will not cut off the hand that feeds him. If he puts price caps in place and the supply goes up then the price will go down and that would stop his cash flow from the wealthy oil corporations who own Congress.

in response to neparis2001: How about a car that runs on bull$hit? The conservative republicans are spreading plenty of that around. \n\nOr, you can do what I do. I refuse to support MidEast oil. All of my gas purchases are from Citgo, which comes from Venezuela. The only way that OPEC and the big oil companies are going to lower their prices is if we start hitting them where it hurts - in the wallet.

It is already here.  But we don't want to change and continue to use gasoline like when it was cheaper.  It will start affecting how we travel and live when the price continue to increase.  We continue to buy these oil from Iran (not our friend) and support their government through our need for oil.

What, isn't it just coincidence that it dropped almost a dollar in the three months before the election, and has climbed 20cents or more since the election?\n\nYou think politics might have motivated the oil companies to make people less displeased with the government, on the chance that would help their buddies who are incumbents keep their jobs?\n\nPerish the thought.

No way!\nunless you have money to waste...but that could always be spent on better things...like helping people who are less fortunate.

Only if you are the country that is sanctioned. over all the world economy is able to absorb enough of the lost produces.  well except when it comes to Oil.

Nope.  Now if they could only find a way to save it and not spend it then we'd be in business.  Oh and "dummicrats"...that's real original...you are so cool.  Can I be your friend?

I had a website addressing this very issue. We have many options available to us presently, but as long as their is a dollar in fossil fuels neither government nor corporate America is going to move in that direction. If you would like to be a mirror for the site let me know and I will get it back up!

Good for you, as you are on the right track.  If everyone decided to take two days off from work, say a thursday and friday and for those two days and the weekend no one drives or uses gas what the impact would be.  OPEC TO THE KNEES begging us to take their crude on the buy one get one free plan.  I have often said the same thing you did but I think billboards and a planned event of 'JUST STOP'.  This would be an event, if it could be pulled off, that would change the manner the oil people do business.  After all, look at what they do to their customers, me and you.  Do you think they would care after 4 continual days of no sales at the pumps??  There has to be more like us and when the number grows to be significant that are willing to perform such a simple task to such a major impacting event we will again be in control.  Where did we lose it, by hanging our heads and bitching every time we fuel.  The station attendant has nothing to do with it so I tell people, if you are going to do nothing about it don't bitch cause I do not want to hear it.  Bless you as I thought I was the only one with that philosophy.  There is hope.

that costs money and with no return. this way they gain money. poor wont give you oil! multi million contracts! be realistic. just go in non christian countries and local churches there in time of disasters. even they wont feed those who say no to conversion. no gain no charity. these are the time of give and take. no giving without return .

Well, our liberal politicians apparently want us dependant on foreign oil.\n\nWe have not been able to build or increase a refinery in the U.S. in 30 years, thanks to liberal legislation.  We lost a refinery recently in New Orleans.  That means we have less refining capabilities than we did 30 years ago.  Do you think we have less demad for oil?  Of course, the liberal socialists will try to tell you that supply vs. demand has no effect on the price of gas, and the liberal sheeple will believe anything they are told by them.\n\nWe also have  tons of oil that we could be drilling in our country, and on our shores.  China is drilling off the coast of Florida (or should I say Cuba), but we are not allowed to, because the liberals want you to believe the earth will look like the exxon valdez spill.  Of course its ok to drill elsewhere, apparently the earth isn't important in other countries.\n\nFact is, there are environmentally safe ways to drill for oil these days.  But the libs don't want anything good to happen to this country unless one of their socialist representatives are in office.  It's no wonder why they have so little support.\n\n----------------------\n\nThere is no doubt that we need other, cleaner sources for oil.  However, that will take a long time, and we need power sources now.  Take advantage of our resources now, while we are working on other methods.

Why? Because it's costs them less money if they get involved. And how? They either make nice with the government with all the oil and do favors for them, or they just crush the government and put a new one there that will sell it to them at a lower price.

Yes. Consider "oil supply" or "Oil reserves" if appropriate.\n\ncc

I have! Oil prices go down and gas goes up. Supplies increase the price at the pump goes up. The 2nd biggest oil deposit in the world comes under U.S. control.... You get the idea. Enough is enough. His friends have all made a buck on this insanity, let's go back to $1.00 a gallon.

Or the other alternative is to just hand over the oil.
