Bush: 'Please increase oil production.' Saudis: 'No. ... Haha! Fooled you!'

Re: Bush: 'Please increase oil production.' Saudis: 'No.'

So let me get this straight: the President uses the word "appeasement" to smear the Democrats based on the fact that they might want to negotiate peace with the main players in the Middle East - then the next day goes to Saudi Arabia on bended knee to beg oil from the country that gave us 15 of the 19 September 11th hijackers.

Genius.

That's simply not true, particularly in the short term - like the next ten years -- which is what we really need to get through until we can develop some of these alternative sources of energy that have been discussed on this thread, you know, like solar, nuclear, bunnies, corn, bunny holes, corn holes, ethanol, either, edith from All in the family.....

Of course the same people who are ridiculing George Bush on here for his failure to find some sort of relief from the Saudi's for gas prices -- would and do vehemently oppose George Bush's desire to find places on our own soil or off our own shores to drill for our own oil on the off chance that doing so might kill a seal........

How we doin' with that nuclear waste? We want to do WHAT with it? Stick it in a hole in the ground? Yeah, there's a good solution.

There are lots of things we could do about the high cost of gas -- from simple to drastic -- but we can't do any of them when the president is in the back pocket of the oil barons.

Somewhere recently I've read that it might make more sense to convert sugar cane and/or sugar beets into ethanol, rather than corn. Higher yield, supposedly.

Have to dig for it later.

Yeah. Sawgrass, too.

If we haven't developed those alternative energy sources in the last 100 years, what makes you think we'll do it in the next 10?

Technological discoveries come logarithmic, not linear.

I see what you're saying, but "necessity the mother of invention" and all that.

If the price of gas drops (which won't happen, but let's play along for the ANWR crowd), the incentive to search for alternative fuels drops, too.
