4) refinery shminery you say? we haven't had ONE NEW refinery built in decades, largely because of stringent ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. the existing infrastructure is going full-tilt boogie to keep up with demand now AND IS SHOWING STRAIN. also, Hurricane Katrina took some refinery capacity offline.
5) damn chinks and stinkies are hogging the world's oil that rightfully belong in MY pickup truck. let those bastards run their economies on rickshaws.   
6) If gasoline goes above $3.25, I'm gonna be spending a lot of time at my reloading or fly-tying benches this summer, cuz I ain't gonna be driving up to RI or MA at this rate. |
Right on! Also we have not built a nuke plant in decades either. Guess how much Co2 and gloabal warming gasses they produce?....nada zip bupkiss. We need to:
1) Build more refineries today.
2) Drill in Alaska today
3) build conventional nuke plants
4) invest in atomic research for next gen nuke plants (read: no waste)
