We just need a Moon project to take oil out.... OPEC and US.

I ACTUALLY heard one of them say the EXACT same things that YOU said Meb..Uhh well..Maybe NOT the EXACT same things but CLOSE....LMAO..

DAMN good thing I wasn't one of those executives..

"How much of your Profits have YOU invested in Alternative Energy, Mr. Oil Man???"

"I don't know Senator,,How Much Money did YOU contribute to your opponent's Campaign the last time you ran for re-election??"

Buy the time the Democrats get done with them,, We'll be LUCKY if they DON'T just turn around and do JUST that Meb..We'll be LUCKY if we're NOT paying 10 bucks a Gallons by mid summer..WORSE..IF we're ABLE to GET gas at all..I'd be inclined to tell those Idiots,,"You know what??YOU need US far more then WE need YOU..YOU explain to the American People WHY they're paying ten dollars a Gal. and if I don't like your explanation,,You'll be explaining why they can't get Gas at ANY price.."

Did you HEAR the Latest??

They're NOW looking to PUNISH OPEC under U.S.Law...How arrogant ARE these people???

TRY telling THAT to an EU that's paying 5 and 6 bucks a Gal...LMAO..

Yeah Hawkeye I heard that as well. When speaking of those politicians the word IMBECILES does come to mind. Has a lawyer or group of lawyers had any effect stopping China from patent copyright violations ? I would judge there success with that first before even considering giving them a single penny. How is Exxon/ Mobile faring in the World Court with their lawsuit against Chavez and his nationalizing their company assets ? I would judge that success therer before handing a lawyer or group of lawyers a single penny ! Here is another question about lawyers I love asking : " What has more worth for the job it actually does, a lawyer's words on paper or toilet paper ?" I know toilet paper takes care of the crap at hand. Is a lawyer's paper so effective, or does it just leave you standing there with more on your hand ?

Its an election year and they got to do something to make themselves look good.

Exactly exactly exactly!!! Hey look at us finally take years to do anything for you, but nothing will probably ever come of it.

Hawkeye: Actually Look north of our border. Companies such as suncor, enbridge, shell, transalta.. All oil and gas sector companies. That have invested big time in into wind farms, and shell investing big time into cellulose ethanol production..

Actually one of the "big Oil" folks responded with the fact that they had put the SAME amount they earned in domestic profits into R&D last year alone!

This is simply ridiculous! EVERYTIME you ask a Senator about domestic oil, they skirt right around it with the alternative energy comment! Ask them why we have rigs from China just 60 miles off of Miami and 45 miles off of Key West, how come we refuse to drill, and they just dismiss the question entirely!

All of this while BOTH sides of the isle are handing out subsidies to "Big Farmer" who has raised the price of corn from 2 bucks to over 9 in just one year... over 4 times! and when you ask about that, they ignore the question!!

Oil is only making between 6 and 9 percent profit! THAT is a fact, yet they insult our intelligence with trying to just state the actual dollar figure without any context!

At this point, I think oil needs to go up to $500 a barrel and a gallon of gas be 20 bucks a gallon! Lets just shut down the ENTIRE nation, and see if THEN our leaders start actually operating in our interest!

Simply put, the leadership that WE ELECTED! is playing chicken with big oil, who is NOT the culprit here, and force feed their socialist agenda to the American people!

I blame the American citizen! Everyone was up in arms on Immigration and amnesty, and responded to Washington so loud it rocked them back on their heels! Well lets just see how high prices go before that happens again.....

BTW- Big Oil does NOT control the price!

It is all political posturing,none of those congressmen understand what it really would require to "fix' the problem.
Yeah, drilling into our own deposits would be good. But now worth a thing without capacity to refine it. Congress would do thins because it's an election year.The rest of the time they waste out money on junk like windmills and solar.
Anybody out there still doing research on Fusion?

I say bomb them and just take the oil, after all the money we have put into the Middle East it should be ours anyway...

I would love to see the tables turned, and have the oil execs grill the senators on why they continously refuse to allow them to take steps needed to lower the price of the oil by producing more of it. Banning drilling, both off of our coasts and inside our own borders, banning the building of new refineries, banning digging for shale, etc. While it won't solve the problem immediately, it would help a few years down the road. After all, we got to the point we are now *because* of all the restrictions placed so many years ago.

Environmentalist nut-jobs have a strangle-hold on us.

Oh, and the oil executives are liars and scoundrels, but for $5-15 million per year, most people would be willing to play the role. They are not doing jobs that other Americans won't do.

...yea right the “oil executives” on American are responsible for the price of oil world wide and they are making a fortune by paying $132 a barrel for the stuff ! That and we all know that the senators/congressmen who are attacking them really are “suffering” just like the rest of us , just look at how hard it has been for Nancy Pelosi she was only able to double her net worth this year and poor poor Obama and Hillary have had so much trouble coming up with the 2 billion dollars they have spent (so far!) to try and get elected....
