Bush* on gas prices: The one-sided coin.

[trof]

Just watched the whatever-you-want-to-call-it..."appearance"(?) at c-span's website.

On gas/oil prices all I hear is "increasing production".
I think all but the most head-in-the-sand denialists now realize that oil is a VERY finite resource.

Any time something is in short supply, the solution is a two-sided coin.
1. Try to get/produce MORE of whatever it is.
2. At LEAST equally important: Find ways to use less of/conserve what you DO have.

Bush*s solution to the oil crunch is a two-tailed coin.
No mention at all of conservation.

And before you say it, finding alternative energy sources not only helps us conserve our dwindling oil supplies, it leads the way to a transition from a fossil fuel based economy to total non-dependence on oil.

1. I think you are assuming that he actually wants the prices to go down...

He does NOT. The more Oil, Gas and N.G sold, at these prices, equals $$_Profits_$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$:crazy:$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I don't know you remember hearing this, but when Oil was below $35 per gallon, Crude oil "on hand" inventories were the lowest in almost 20 years. The Big Oils Corps. (and our "Strategic Petroleum Reserve) didn't start filling up until the price went over $35.00 per barrel.

Now, some could probably argue that, "it wouldn't have been 'good business' to have filled those inventories with cheap oil," but to me, it looks like pure and simple GREED.:mad:
