"The king believes that the current oil prices are abnormally high, and he is ready to restore prices to their appropriate levels...."

Sounds like the normal tripe from a politician. I wonder what “appropriate levels” means?

This is not much of an increase. Perhaps it is the best they can do.

The increase will all go to China...their infrastructure was decimated...and they will use lots and lots of petroleum based products for heavy machinery to move toppled buildings....they will use diesel for generators since the hydroelectric sources have been destroyed. DON'T kid yourselves...the increase is spoken for, by CHINA!

Why don’t we increase our own production so we’re not at the mercy of people who don’t like us? I believe someone is paying our politicians to keep American oil in the ground. Maybe that will change when the bribes to drill are worth more than the bribes not to drill. Stupidity alone can’t explain all of the ridiculous decisions the politicians make.

As crazy as it may sound.... I have long suspected that some in the anti-drilling, enviro-weenie crowd are in cahoots, at some level, with OPEC. Every time there is a marginal increase in OPEC production, it gives the anti-drillers more leeway to say "See, we don't need to drill [ANWR/GOM/continental shelf/Colorado/etc.], the Saudis will take care of us."
Okay, maybe that's crazy. But there have been stranger bedfellows in history.

USA domestic production is 12 million bpd low, that is how much is imported. Go ahead, increase domestic production from 8 million bpd to 11 million bpd. It will be very expensive and still be 9 million bpd short.

I have a better idea:
How about we drill for our own oil? Tomorrow. The environmental extremists and the Saudi’s like to play games.
See if they like this game. Wheel of Fortune.
Would they like to buy a vowel?

The Dems (Obama) are on the wrong side of this. The US public wants us to start drilling.

John McCain has voted repeatedly against drilling in ANWAR and in most offshore locations. Obama and McCain are not the best choices to solve this problem. Unlike Obama, McCain does favor building more nuclear plants, but that will take about 10 years to realize any power, even if we started tomorrow.

McCain ought to get with the program. Drilling is the answer and the public will want it.

Read an article the other day indicating that since the oil shortage in the 80’s, US production has declined by 20% and US consumption has increased by 30%. Wrong direction here.
I recall mandatory 55 mph max nationwide. I have decided to reduce my own consumption when I can. By driving 55 instead of 70 I am saving 20% on my consumption. And, planning ahead, I am arriving not nearly as stressed.

If only we were doing the best we could do - instead we've set ANWR and offshore drilling off-limits for no good reason.
To: STARWISE
I saw in another article that the Saudis want Europe to cut taxes. That should be fun.

Is the extra Saudi oil the light kind that everybody wants or is it the heavy, high-sulfur crude that’s harder to refine?

Same thing as setting your thermostat to 78. You wanna do it? Have at it.
