Hurricane Ike, Oil Supply, Oil Prices?

This is actually a rhetorical question but please read on, this may be our chance to do something about this crisis.

For to long now we have been hearing that the price of oil per barrel is being controlled by supply and demand. Well recently we have had a breathtaking spike in prices due to Hurricane Ike because the oil producing factories in Texas had to shut down. Meaning that supply temporarily went down meaning price per barrel should go up!

Then if they aren’t lying to us how come when i log into my yahoo homepage why do i see the price per barrel shot down $7????? But since there is less oil that means demand is up if 20% of our America’s oil supply is cut off right now!

Sounds like we are getting screwed and bush is getting one last big paycheck before he leaves office!

Oh and how come they get to hike the prices on this gas when they had already paid a set price for it???

When your company you work for shuts down do you increase the price for your services by a drastic amount because you shut down for a week or two? Why should they be allowed to in this time of economic strife when they are still making billions a year now in record profits?

Pass that on to your state elected officials maybe now we have the tool and evidence we need to up the pressure and finally put enough of these oil crooks behind bars and scare the others into fixing the prices back where they should be!!!!

My prayer for now and not just because of prices is this, “please god let someone discover a source of renewable energy to replace oil that is safe for our beautiful planet you gave us!”

Should those of us in business friendly states thank Governor Jerry Brown?

California Governor Jerry Brown, bowing down to the wacko green lobbyists, will sign a bill today which will raise the required amount of costly renewable energy for electric generation in California from 20% to 33% by the year 2020. They will also be implementing a cap and trade program, which is a tax on fossil fuel use, but the leftist environmentalist say it doesn’t go far enough so they have taken the State to court. And who gets to pay the increased costs associated with the economy killing programs? Consumers and businesses. So, shouldn’t the western business friendly states like Texas, Arizona and Utah thank Governor Brown for sending more businesses and jobs our way?

Thanks, Jerry!!

when obama cracks and lets any ol slave labor country to ship in renewable energies, won’t that really help the “global economy *gag*”

Why is the Republican alleged “Big Oil” link any worse than the Democrats “Big Green” direct involvement?

So everyone harps and harps and harps ad nauseum about Bush and Cheney having prior ties to the oil industry making them immediate mindless patsies to the Great Satan Big Oil, but what about the Democrats and Big Green? The funny part is that those like Pelosi have DIRECT investments in alternative fuel companies whose technology they’re trying to ran through in legislation. So when these Big Green companies that the Democrats are lackies to start making billions in profits, will there be a call for Windfall Profits Taxes? I guess that will depend on whether Pelosi and her cohorts have sold their stock or not.

How freaking hypocritical, LOL!

“August 18, 2008 (LPAC)–In May, 2007, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi bought stock in the initial public offering of T. Boone Pickens’ company, CNLE (Clean Energy Fuels Corp.). George Soros is a stockholder as well.

CNLE is part of the network of Pickens’ companies set to profiteer off his “Pickens Plan” for a massive shift to wind-generated electricity, and then–so he asserts, a massive freeing up of natural gas for transportation. CNLE provides compressed natural gas and liquified natural gas. Pelosi owns between 100,000 and 250,000 shares.

CNLE is reported to be a sponsor of Proposition 10 in Pelosi’s home state of California, calling for $10 billion in state and Federal funding for companies involved in renewable, clean energy–namely, wind power and natural gas. A sister company operated by Pickens, Mesa Power, is involved in $12 billion of mega-wind farm projects in West Texas. Pelosi also favors Federal tax breaks and financial aid for “renewables” energy projects.”

Pandering to Big Green? Hmmmmmm…billions? Hmmmmm…
dconstru, when did the US go to war for the oil companies? The US hasn’t taken a drop of Iraqi oil years later, but yet you keep blindly repeating the Dems tag lines. Leads to some credibility issues if you ask me. I wish we would’ve taken the oil, my gas would be cheaper.
