Amen to that. A investment adviser stated that oil may not be a good investment and went on to talk about the up and down price history and ended by stating that the oil price is just 4% higher than it was in 1981? How he got there leaves me but I believe that if we did domestic exploration and drilling of oil and gas we would be tottally independent and while we may not be able to go back to 1973 prices we could get them down to liveable levels. I agree with the early post that the liberal dems are doing all they can to make oil and natural gas cost prohibitive in order to push their green agenda. So you have to ask what type of leadership is that? and the naswer of course is that this is not about leadership its about advancing the liberal agenda irrespective of consequences.
