It is time to allow more drilling and refinery building.

Darn it, first time I have posted an article in years.

Yup!

A needed reminder for some of us.

We need to take care of business and that means becoming more self-sufficient in our energy needs. Tree-huggers get a voice, but should not be a veto! Public need is paramount.

Would like to see all these displaced people be given jobs in a New American Public Works Brigades -- help rebuild infrastructure etc. Not a charity or welfare org, but a true program that cares for its workers as they help in this enormous rebuilding effort.

These Public Works Brigades should be given support from area Churches, and Big Businesses. Not just a government project -- but an American Project supported by us all.

And, while we are engrossed here at home in this effort, let us not forget our brave soldiers out on freedom's frontier. God Bless them and all of us!

What percentage is used for gasoline? That would be an interesting statistic.

My husband and I were just discussing this today. I was wondering what items are made using oil products and if and when those products would start going up in price. Interesting to note: I bought oil for the car today at NAPA and the price has NOT gone up since I was in there last week. Hmmm. That's for the list.

Oil is not just for energy

It's in my hair, too. Soon it may be economically viable for Exxon to start drilling up there.
