My question is how much longer is there going to be gas for them to fill with even if they do have enough money for it. I was reading this article called The U.S. Oil Supply — A Look At Our Future Oil Needs and it helped me better understand why gas is rising and what it means financially. It gave me a glimpse into another side I didn’t really think about, regardless of the ever worsening environmental effects.

As the rich trade in their SUVs for hybrids, the car lots overflow with them. Soon, being cheap and plentiful these are the only vehicles the poor can afford. But can they afford to put gas in them.

By not developing Americas domestic resources we reduce the amount of OPEC oil available to other countries and put upward pressure on the prices citizens of Europe and Japan pay at the pump.

FOREIGN WARS OR DOMESTIC OIL

If the US Government spent a trillion dollars over 8 years on domestic oil production from known reserves in the Gulf of Mexico, the Continental Shelf and coal gasification instead of War in Iraq gas would be $2 a gallon or less. America could quit sending billions to countries that sponsor terrorism. And reducing our trade imbalance keeps jobs in America. Every billion of trade deficit costs 13,000 jobs. $400 billion for oil last year: do the math.

America has 1/4th the coal on planet earth. South Africa is producing 300,000 barrels of gas and diesel a day from coal. And synthetic fuel from coal is cleaner burning than gas. And it can be produced cheaper than from $100+ a barrel crude oil.

Harness your anger at the pump. Call you’re US Senators and demand domestic production in this decade. Raise your voice or the oil companies and politicians will assume you are ready to pay even more.
