Comments on: Skyrocketing Gas Prices + Fear = Billions for Big Oil http://politicsanew.com/2008/05/13/skyrocketing-gas-prices-fear-billions-for-big-oil/ Opinion and Commentary of Over 500 Women Political Bloggers Tue, 15 Jun 2010 13:15:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: fractalman93 http://politicsanew.com/2008/05/13/skyrocketing-gas-prices-fear-billions-for-big-oil/comment-page-1/#comment-8142 fractalman93 Wed, 14 May 2008 04:49:03 +0000 http://politicsanew.com/2008/05/13/skyrocketing-gas-prices-fear-billions-for-big-oil/#comment-8142 I agree with your assessment on big oil. I too have written a few blog posts about it. <a href="http://progthinker.blogspot.com/2008/03/worlds-billionaires-part-ii.html" rel="nofollow">The World's Billionaires - Part II</a> being one of them. Recently, while conversiing with a friend, i was reminded of Russia's huge <strong>untapped</strong> oil supply in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberia#Economy" rel="nofollow">Siberian region</a>. Rather than wasting our time with the Middle East, we should be getting busy making friends with Russia. That would quell oil prices in the short term. Thus, giving automobile manufacturers time to design and manufacture: 1) much more fuel efficient cars and 2) cars that don't run on gas at all. I strongly believe that Hillary can help start this revolution. I agree with your assessment on big oil. I too have written a few blog posts about it.

The solution has got to be a non-oil solution...anything else is just avoidance.

I was listening to CNN this afternoon and Ali Velshi was doing a story on the idea of converting coal to fuel for automobiles. More mountain-top mining! I just have to wonder how many people we are willing to kill in order to save our SUVs and Humvees. What’s really scary are some of the alternatives to oil that are being suggested.

If we can put a man on the moon, we can certainly find and use clean energy alternatives. It's a simple solution, that is being blocked by big oil. Sometimes what is best for people and our earth, needs to come before greed and $$$$$$$$$$. We need to focus on getting off oil altogether.

And personally I think it's pretty messed up that we aren't drilling our own resources. My thought is that if we can get off of the foreign oil bandwagon we can actually start spending time research real alternatives, not the joke that is ethanol. Do you have a better idea?
