As for the immedicate problem it needs to be addressed now, and a speech by our fearless leader would be nice. It would let the public know he actually cares about them. Lets stop making this a political thing and get together and fix the problem. How about all the record profits. I understand they are in business but when the average person is hurting and the economy is slowing how can the oil companies justify "record profits"? Makes not sense to me.

When are people going to wake up? Yes, we need alternative energy sources, but at the rate oil and gas are rising now, nobody will have enough pennies remaining to purchase anything utilizing alternative energy sources by the time they are available. What we have now as 'alternative choices' dont amount to a hill of oil sand since most folks cant use them or wouldnt benefit from them. Lets get going and use what God has given us - ANWR and the Gulf are available. And we need to build additional refineries to handle the increased production. These things will strengthen the economy in a multitude of ways. Frankly, I dont care if the 'oil' is Big or small; let the folks who can make something out of these resources get to work so that the rest of us can get out from underneath gas that is more expensive than milk!
