[quote user="UPRR engineer"][quote user="Bucyrus"]  They would love to have $7-10 per gallon gasoline in the U.S. except they would want the price to be inflated by taxes rather than by income to the oil producers as is the case today.  So a big part of the reason for high gas prices is the fact a lot of people in congress, and their constituents, want high gas prices.  And because they want high gas prices, they don't want our oil companies drilling for oil and bringing new supplies on line.  Therefore, to support their argument against new oil supply and the resulting lower price, they tell us the following things:1)   Drilling for oil won't lower the price for a long, long time.  2)   When it does finally lower the price, it won't be enough to matter.3)   There is not much oil to find anyway.4)   Oil companies should not be allowed to drill in new areas because they are not drilling in all the areas they already have. Their agenda is pretty danged transparent if you ask me.[/quote]Hey buddy, mind if i ask you a question. I take it you believe the CO2 warning coming from climate scientists..... but you dont seem to want to eat what the petroleum geologist are dishing out? If they go after that oil its not gonna be cheap to pull out, its only gonna make it worse in the future, its probibly not gonna be the same high quality sweet crude we get from the middle east.    [/quote]You misunderstand me, but I am not exactly sure how the misunderstanding came about.  The four items I listed above are what is being said by people who want high oil price, want oil scarcity, and believe we are destroying the planet by creating global warming.  When I referred to "their" agenda being transparent, I meant the agenda of those who say the four items; the agenda of those wanting high oil prices.  I was not referring to oil companies (in item #4) as having an agenda by my use of the words, "their agenda..."
