Alaska don't got shit and its just delaying the inevitable. It solves no problems.

Alaska is HUUUUUUUUUGE. I don't buy it

But we are allowed to drill off shore, problem was Katrina wiped out most of those pumps. But it still doesn't excuse the mass amount of Reserves we already have.

But what about the 95% of the rest of our shores? lmao. The govt. really took advantage of this whole Katrina BS, including that lame excuse by our govt. to raise prices...

So is Texas, but most of the oil is gone. And guess what, companies spend billions every year to search for new sources across the globe. They admit its getting harder to find them.

Oil is a finite resource. Once it gets burned up its gone forever. Delaying Peak Oil for 10 years while also turning Alaska, our most beautiful and pristine state, into a polluted husk is NOT sound policy.

As such the logical solution to this problem is to wean ourselves off oil and onto some other energy source. Not to drill for more fucking oil.

[kevincal]

Our reserves are hardly massive, less than two months at current usage.

lmao, like any of us peons really know how much oil Bush and his buddies have got. Of course they're gonna be all, "omg we have hardly any oil," Cus if we all knew they really had a shitload, well, we'd all be really pissed that we had anything to do with the middle-east in the 1st place. And everyone knows what fucking around in the middle east has cost us....

I was talking about the SPR.

Please come back to this thread when you grow a brain.

And how long have they been drilling in TX? lol btw Alaska is ONE FIFTH the size of the entire US mainland. TX ain't got shit on Alaska.

@ diff- You really do believe everything you read don't you...lol

No, you really don't have a clue what the fuck you're talking about. The Anwar (sp?) reserve in Alaska has less oil in it than we would have saved had we not deregulated in the 80s. The drilling in Alaska shit buys you a few months, at most, of gas. The push for it has little to do with oil, and a lot to do with politics and approval. STFU.

Cost me $30 to fill my tank today - it normally takes me about $25. We're still at $2.72 on the base. Outside the base is about the same.

[EvilMog]

It's called being in the right lane. Truckers follow this 55-65 rule all the time to save gas.

You're really bad at this intelligent discussion thing. What are you going to assume about me next?

I assume that your naked and drinking Hi-C.

Just teasing. Personally I hope Hydrogen Fuel Cell takes off in the near future. 99% fewer emissions and water is the primary waste byproduct.

Ever watch the show 30 Days? It hasn't been on lately (I don't think), but it was the guy that did Super Size Me getting a show on FX where they try other things for 30 days. One episode had two "power hogs" living in a commune with little electricity and power. In one segment they show him going to a Honda plant and he actually drank the water from the exhaust... it didn't taste good, but he did it haha.

[TobalRox]

It's true, not that I ever care about it. Gas mileage (the ones they have posted in the windows at dealerships) are based on tests conducted at 50 mph. Wind resistance like...increases exponentially. Triples, I believe, as you go up. So at 80 mph your wind resistance is WAY more than it is at 60 mph, by a hugely significant amount.

My car has a realtime mileage meter, and I don't come close to it. I usually get 42-43 vs. the 49+ I'm "supposed" to get.
