I thought it was more about environmental impact?

No, no, no, a thousand times NO!

Which part of this game plan does no one get? Money, money, money. Ruled by the big conglomerates. The rich and powerful. More money and power.

Green, ONLY GREEN.

If you think for a moment that we have an oil shortage than you haven't done your homework.

if it wasnt for the big companies mass producing, keeping costs down, youd be charged more for everything
its always about money, even if u only make $10k a year.... just a diff level

you people only hate the rich because you arent rich, lol.....

roadrunner, you dont believe big businesses undercut prices by buying/selling bulk?

instead of just saying u disagree, list reasons why.... or cant u?

if it wasnt for the big companies mass producing, keeping costs down, youd be charged more for everything

Do you think this 'rule-of-thumb' will work for health care costs also?

u think im gonna buy a book to read? dumb......

if u dont have a worded opinion with examples explaining roadrunner, then dont reply

your link was a book on amazon

and i saw nothing in this thread where u explained anything

i give a thought and explanation in almost every post, guess u dont read

and youre right im no monitor, but if u wanna be a rob or paul and post without a thought or explanation, go for it

healthcare is different than a mom and pop store buying 100 dvd players for $25 each to sell for $50, than walmart buying 5000 for $10 to sell for $35

i bet we used more oil in last 75 years than in last 1000 years before it

you posted no links, i called u on it, u said i was wrong, and i was right, soooo..... so wheres your apology, lol.......

2nd...... i could post links contradicting so its a mute point now

i believe in global warming, tho its very gradual...... heck, the polar icecaps disappearing should tell u that alone

and anyone who thinks we have unlimited fossil fuels is just a idiot....... its just a matter of time before we use it up...... 50, 100, 150, 200 maybe 250 years, who knows..... but eventually fossil fuel will be gone

think about it, although oil has been used for a thousand years for stuff, its only been about 100 years since mass produced engines have been made........ i bet we used more oil in last 75 years than in last 1000 years before it

but hey, if u wanna think the world used a million barrels of oil a month and the earth created a million to replentish that loss, enjoy your fantasy world

The main argument in favor of cutting back on our oil consumption should be so we can stop sending our money to the Middle-east, where a lot of it is likely helping to fund Islamic radicals and terrorists.

Absolutely!

I would love to see homes & neighborhoods become self-sufficient.

the only way we will be is to drill on our own

i guess i think if we drilled our own we'd only supply the united states with no need for overseas oil?

is that a unrealistic goal? or a dream?

what would be the drawbacks?

or is it cheaper to subcontract companies to drill?

so hoard it untouched and keep buying overseas?

RR, u didnt comprehend 1 thing i said or meant, oh well

happy easter

according to roadrunner, theres unlimited oil soooooo.. hehe
