    people think the solution to high oil prices is to open reserves and get more oil and its ridiculous, no matter how much more oil we get we will never again see cheap oil. As the rate of oil consumption which is at an exponetional rate increases, and the amount of oil left in the earth(there is only so much) experts, predict that oil will be depleted somewhere between 2020 and 2030. In addition to these situations china and india are emerging and will become top competors for this "foreign oil" I can image gas being higher than 10/per gallon and i know it sound crazy. We have to start doing something now in order to stay ahead.

    People that get ahead in the stock market aren't the ones doing what everyone else is doing, no, the ones that get ahead are the ones who research every key fact about the company and then pick winners, they weigh the facts the rest is up to fate what that stock will do. Voting for a president is a lot like picking a winning stock. One of the most important things, if not the most important thing is the economy and one of the most important things too the economy is fuel. But fuel as it is now(gas) will be out of reach and this will effect everything.

    So what is the solution?

    The solution is alternative fuel sources which means less dependence on foreign oil(which is highly unpredictable).

    As a country of vast resources, why aren't we pouring money into putting into action alternative fuel sources(believe me there are a lot and there)? Why are we squandering away billions into saving a dead horse. It's because we picked a bad stock, this may already be common knowledge, but we know why we went to iraq. Some will say to uproot an evil dictator, uh huh. Some will say it was to protect America's oil, getting closer. What does Bush have...? He and his father and his friends own large parts of the oil industry, ah who woulda figured :). I guess bush wasn't the one pulling the strings after all, i guess he's just a puppet. This is why we aren't implementing alternative sources of fuel, this is why we have a war in iraq.

    I live in NC, so we're screwed up by the Hurricane, too, idiots go out and buy all the gas they can before we supposedly run out (which is a complete rumor) and they just make it worse by buying so much! If they'd just buy what the normally would, Stations wouldn't jack up prices as much, and if there really is going to be a problem obtaining gas later, then it wouldn't be as bad.

    It's about $3.50 here in Kansas.
    But, my area is about 20-30 cents less than the national average.

    But, all I can say that the gas prices are ----ing ridiculous, and seeing as I go 30 miles to school everyday, putting alot of money on us.
