Fuel Prices
Look to suck for this summer.  It is making an offshore run or a distant trip of anykind not worth it.
Time to drill in Alaska and stop this gouging. |

Jim - you are a helluva guy and I respect the hell out of you but didn't you say last year to buy stock in the Oil Companies if you don't like the price of fuel? Sorry... No, I agree with you. Add the 25% MVY surcharge and you're looking at 5 per gallon...
Alaska aint going to save us, especially as it would just put ths oil on the open market at whatever rate they could seel it for. If it went to local consumption and reduce outside dependancy, maybe that would be different...

 No I have not invested directly in oil co's but that could be an interesting hedge against the cost of fuel. All you need is the cash. But if I had that kind of serious cash I would have a much bigger fuel problem because I would own a killer sportsfishermen. 
(That said, I have done well in russian funds that invest in mostly oil in the last decade though, (TRF and LETRX) But I am not going to sell them to buy gas at the pump.) |

billions of dollars
that are being spent in other countries could be spent in AMERICA
to develope a less foriegn dependant fuel supply. Hopefully the carbon nano tube technologies will someday make cars so light yet ten times stronger than their steel framed counter part that it will take much less energy to propell them forward and they'll have the added structural interigty to protect the occupants. If the government doesnt make some quick changes we are headed for an energy shortage catastrophy beyond anyone's comprehension.
Just imagine a society
with nothing but quiet pollution free electric vehicles. Oil should be only used as a lubricant .

It will take 10+ years to get production up in ANWR (which I hope never happens) and also the projected supplies won't even last a year.
Please rethink what you're saying.  |

All I can say is let's team up and take turns to get off shore. 2 and 3 splitting the fuel is a heck of a lot better than footing the bill alone....
I'm always willing to team up! Who knows, maybe the higher fuel prices will lead to less competition, and more fish! Wishful thinking likely.
