Are gas prices going up daily?

[Democrats_win]

Shocked to see it go up seven cents in one day. Its a new record $2.44 almost everywhere here.

If Al Gore had become president, he would have encouraged conservation when the price reached $1.75 a gallon in March 2004, just over a year ago. Without conservation, the price has skyrocketed! We've known about the oil crisis since 2000 and its getting worse.

If you don't do something about the problem, it tends to get worse. Aren't we paying our national leaders to solve problems?

1. They have to , in order to make $3 by September.

2. Then there is price gouging

That's already being investigated here. I haven't been out since Friday. It went up 10 cents from Thursday to Friday. Don't tell me all those stations got their weekly supply on Friday. Those that didn't were still selling the cheaper priced gas that they got when their supply came in. A few of the HONEST stations didn't increase their prices on Friday.

Last I looked it was $2.65 a gallon. I have to fill up today and I am very afraid to look and see what it is now.

9. This is only the begining...

Peak Oil :

"The Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas was founded by the geologist Colin Campbell. It argues that the Hubbert model is fundamentally correct, and that the world faces the midpoint, or maximum, rate of global oil production around 2007"

"In March 2005, the International Energy Agency projected annual global demand at 84.3 million barrels per day , which means over 30 billion barrels annually. This makes consumption equal to production, leaving no surplus capacity. Even if there were temporarily sufficient oil reserves that could be used to meet rising global demand, there is an unknown limit on the increase of oil production capacity, absent additional investment in oil production, transportation and refining facilities. Also in March 2005, the Algerian minister for energy and mines stated that OPEC had reached their oil production limit."

11. Ding ding ding!

I wish people would stop whining about gas prices. It's tantamount to "it's all about meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Let's look at our government and the history of the last 25 years. EVERY president (don't mention the "C" name as I can prove you wrong in under an attosecond) has not addressed energy usage or has altered our energy policy to make us more reliant on it. Starting with Reagan's disbandening Carter's alternative energy programs, claiming "obsolescence". That piece of manure is so highly regarded and for the most farcical of reasons.

We ened to get he word of peak oil out ALONG with concise documentating showing how every president in power since the end of the original oil crisis in ~1979 has reacted.

It won't make the people happy, but maybe it'll make them think. Which also seems to be a crime in this day and age.
