Should America capitalize on the 77 trillion CubicFt of RecoverableNaturalGas on The Outer Continental Shelf?

Question

Shouldn't we be promoting and expanding the use of our domestic supplies of natural gas? When people are hurting, and struggling to afford gasoline, food, and other necessities, common sense requires that we draw upon America's own vast reserves of oil and natural gas. Within the United States we have tremendous reserves of natural gas. Shouldn't we build the infrastructure needed to transport this important component of electricity generation and transportation fuel around the country?

Answer 1

George W. bush , or rich people who owns oil refinerey , they put billions of dollars drilling cude oil, If they let natural gas or every H2O or electric car come out in the market, they will loose billions, Dude you get it... It's control......

Answer 2

No, there's no possible way that increasing our supply of fuel will bring down costs; supply and demand is a lie fabricated by the bourgeoisie to keep us down. Also, CEOs of big companies like to eat kittens roasted over burning puppies, and they don't want to drill in barren Alaskan desert where there are hardly any animals; they want to drill right through little baby foxes.

Answer 3

"" common sense requires that we draw upon America's own vast reserves of oil and natural gas. "

I think you nailed the problem.  While everybody debates ad nauseum about Palin and Obama, we're drowning in oil we're not allowed to have or use.  Use the gas to heat homes and get the prices down so a cold winter doesn't cost a family $400 a month to keep warm.  Use the oil for gasoline so we can save our economy and throw off the self-inflicted use of OPEC oil,  time to buy USA oil.
