Actually this isn't anywhere near the truth. Much of the price we are now seeing is the result of speculators in the oil futures market... some of it many years into the future. The opening of viable production areas would interfere with the shortage model they are basing their investments on. Therefore it would bring a relatively immediate drop in oil prices. The speculators would be screwed and we would get lower prices. What's not to like? I realize that this is not what many dirt worshipping tree huggers want, but it is what is good for the country that is run by people long sold out to Algore's inconvenient lie. They have no problem with higher prices. BHO only complained that they come on so fast. Others say it's a good thing as it will cure what they call our national addiction to oil. Any industrialized society needs oil... what does that say about what they want to do to the way we live? -- Larry Miller --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/mixed text/plain (text body -- kept) message/rfc822 --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
