Your posts are getting more and more elementary. Do you think you're being funny? We've got people drowning and all you can do is accuse Bush of giggling over high gas prices. Get a clue, man.

Not funny, but unfortunately true! I have already done my part with The Red Cross. But W's follies still go on!

Capn:

You are a good man and you post with class ...

Is gas going to $4 gallon? That is like asking if Redneckman considers Jeff Gannon one of the top 10 news reporters in the country today ...

Keep up the good work!

Doc, too busy bashing me to call your buttin' buddy Stucco on his politicizing the worst natural disaster in American history in the other thread? You are a hypocrite.

Drove by 7 or 8 gas stations today. The cheapest regular was $279.9. One station had $3.28 for reg and they are typically lower that most, which tells me the others will soon be at or above that number (within 72 hours).

Thanks Doc! Prayer seems kind of futile and hypocritical now, but I do it anyhow!

That's what most of Bush's buddies are doing and that is why they think he is so great. It doesn't matter that the consumer is getting squeezed or the residual effects these prices are going to have in the short and long term. ... and that foreign policy, they just look the other way and count their money.

Just this morning, I live in Chicago Suburbs, gas jumped from around $2.75 to $3.31 at most gas stations. There are two gas stations near my house that are always even at these high prices competing in a price war. One of them only jumped up to $3.09 while the other went up only $0.02 to $2.77. I actually waited for 45 minutes to get gas as the line to the pump went all the way out in the middle of a busy street. It was well worth the wait as I filled up both my wife's and my car plus all the gas cans for the mowers and trimmers while I could!

As posted earlier on another thread...

- - - - - -

It's going to get much MUCH WORSE.

Saudi Arabia's claim to be able to increase oil supply to offset production loss in the GOM is a joke.

And despite the promise to lend out oil from the SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserve), what the administration is NOT TELLING YOU is that the SPR is over 60% sour crude... SURPRISE!

Add this to the following list of refineries that are 'offline' and it begins to look GRIM INDEED

• ExxonMobil (XOM )/PDVSA's 187,000 b/d Chalmette refinery in Louisiana;
• Chevron's (
CVX ) 325,000 b/d refinery in Pascagoula, Miss.;
• Valero Energy's (
VLO ) 190,000 b/d St. Charles refinery in Louisiana;
• Motiva Enterprises' 242,000 b/d Norco refinery and 252,000 b/d Convent refinery, both in Louisiana;
• ConocoPhillips' (
COP ) 250,000 b/d Alliance refinery in Belle Chasse, La.;
• Marathon Ashland Petroleum's (
MRO ) 245,000 b/d refinery in Garyville, La.;
• Murphy Oil's (
MUR ) Meraux plant;
• Ergon Refining's 23,000 b/d refinery in Vicksburg, Miss.; and
• Hunt Southland's 11,000 b/d Sandersville refinery and 5,800 b/d; Lumberton refinery, both in Mississippi.
<!-- READER REVIEW START -->not to mention the number 1 US oil off-loading point

PLUS...

One must keep in mind that supply was not keeping pace to demand BEFORE Katrina hit when all the refineries above were RUNNING AT FULL CAPACITY.

Throw in the losses sustained from the major pipeline arteries leading out of LA into major US airports and cities etc., the million homeless from NO and I'm sure you'll no doubt begin to grasp the overall picture of the nightmare REAL QUICK.

$4 a gallon will come sooner than you think...

I see that Bush and the Saudi's are being blamed for this.

Cap'n or someone else might be able to elucidate the facts for me.

I thought that the problem with fuel was competition and capacity rather than supply.

First are the Chinese buying futures with the $ they get manufacturing cheap products that Americans love to buy.

Next is the limited refining capacity as refinery plant and equipment are old, inefficient and at full capacity. The environmental whackoes with the help of the courts and the government won't allow modernized refining plants and equipment to be built

Finally is a distribution network where there are 6 to 8 distinct fuels that are being refined and tanked out rather than three or four distinct fuels - again restricted by the environmental whackoes with the help of the courts and the government.

I guess I was wrong!

Please explain where I misunderstand the process.

You nailed it, Bblight. We need more refineries, but the environmentalist wacko crowd has been fighting it every step of the way.

Didn't Algore write in his book that he would like to see a gallon of gas cost five bucks? And here I though ALL the libs would be thrilled to see gas prices rising and even hoping they get to five bucks a gallon. What a bunch of phoney, what's in it for me, liberalcons.

Let the Free Market reign. It's the only thing that works. The Chinese subsidize their gas prices and they have three hour lines at the gas pump. Would you guys prefer that?

I wasn't around during the gas crunch of the early '70s, but I'm sure some posters here were. From what I've read, it was ridiculous; alternate days for the gas stations opening, license plate numbers ending in even numbers could get gas on one given day, odd numbers the next day. Some stations would shut down even when they had plenty of gas in order to save it for themselves and their buddies. Station owners charged pretty much whatever they wanted. All the independents were being run out of business because the big boys like Standard Oil could (and would) sell gasoline to whoever the hell they wanted (which did not include independents).

So, guys...you really want to ease the crisis in energy? Then start building Nuke power plants. We, the USA, are the most backward country in the civilized world when it comes to nuclear power...and we freaking invented it.

You know why we're not in the nuke zone? I'll clue you in...because environmentalist psychos on the left have shut the industry down. Environmentalist, Leftist wackos have also stopped us from drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, and prevented us from drilling in ANWR....somehow managing to convince the gullible American people that it's the right thing to do.

Despite all this, the free market will eventually correct itself...and the less government intervention during the process, the better.

$4 a gallon thanks GW oh but you and your cronies make money on this mess so that makes it ok. Nuclear power can you say San Onofre? Enough said. For cheap gas alternate days is no problem we all survived fine in the 70's.

Jeez, Hilo, if you don't have a clue how the economy works, don't post. Or take an economics 101 class, one or the other.
