I’m sorry - I must have missed the part where I was told to grease up and bend over.

Are the names of the panel’s members known so the general public can start the TAR AND FEATHERING?
Talk about doing the wrong thing at the wrong time!!!

These morons won’t be happy until the price of gasoline hits $10.00 per gallon, half of which will be taxes.

How about letting a free people find their own way to respond to the realities of life?
We have more and better ideas and the problems will be solved just like when water finds it’s own level.

This comes on the heels of the public claiming that the GOP has to go because gas prices are too high and that the bridge collapse was because of a faulty design and not poor maintenance.

In Energy Victory, the author points out that we could have flex fuel (methanol, ethanol, and gasoline) cars rolling off the line in 1 year at $100 more per car. The drivers and the market would then decide which type of oil to provide.
Bush has lead us down the wrong path on oil for 8 years. He never made drilling a national defense priority and let the dems slap him down. He puts the future in hydrogen, when it should be in electric plug-ins including nuclear power.
When the author talked to the WH, Mosbacher told him, "We don't do mandates." Of course, they do, MPG, seat belts, and on and on. But no mandates to free us from sending $200 bill to Saudi Arabia annually, so they can build schools around the world to preach hatred of non-moslem culture.
The cost of flex-fuel vehicles is $1 mill per engine for governmental approval. Times 150 engines. Within 3-4 years we would greatly reduce oil imports as the market makes it feasible for alternative fuels.

This is getting ridiculous.
Why don't they just take my home, my property and my paycheck and move me into a government slum with a few food stamps now and again.

A federal panel today recommended a steep increase in motor fuel taxesJust what the economy needs...Sheesh.
Why not reduce or downsize government by say 300,000 employees? Eliminating all that fat, high salaries and those killer government pensions could save real big bucks.

It's not the price of gas they hate so much, it's the relative freedom inherent in the ownership and use of private automobiles. We must be controlled! (for the common good, of course)

They’re working on it. Give them time.

How about we build more power plants while we are at it rather than just telling the public to “use less” as more and more (millions upon millions) immigrate to the USA?
