re: Only a relatively minor, and simple point that for some reason has resulted in so much back and forth verbiage. That the cost of the oil we are extracting from offshore wells is much less then the current world price for oil.

So that's why we are dependant on ME oil, the oil companies like to pay more! Or maybe it's the Bush family relationships in the ME?

Frankly, it folks that argue that there is no problem that will change a problem to a disaster. It's past time to start towards energy independence. Wouldn't it feel nice not to have to depend on the ME for the health of our economy?

Right now, with 4% of the world population and 25% of the world oil consumption, we are sitting ducks. There are two solutions. Either we figure a way to lower oil consumption with alternate fuels, or we have oil wars. Bush has chosen oil wars (he's an oil guy).

It's not a C/L or D/R issue. It's our future.
