Question

Who is responsible for the worldwide sufferings due to rise of oil price?

Answer 1

George W. Bush

Answer 2

We Americans are. We have been collectively living wasteful lifestyles, with large gas hog vehicles, McMansions that are way bigger than we need and cost thousands to heat and cool. Products that could be manufactured here are manufactured half a world away because we want everything cheap. We buy bottled water in droves even though most of it is no better than the tap water in 85% of the country.

The last president of this country who actually HAD a cogent energy policy, who actually told this country that we had to change our lifestyle to use less energy was CARTER. No other president has given the issue any more than lip service to the topic because we won't support the issue.

We won't spend the extra money to install more efficient HVAC and hot water tanks.

We ***** because we may have to give up incandecent light bulbs

We whine when we have to pay a little extra money for Walmart products if they are made in the US and not China, even those items get shipped thousands of miles.

We have never demanded a greater effort to develop solar.

As much as I don't like GW Bush, in this case he is not to blame. We put him there.  Gore may not have been a good president but at least he was calling for stronger energy policy and the collective society laughed in his face.

Imagine if instead of the average car getting 19mpg it got 40mpg. Then multiply that by 30 years and imagine how much gas we would not have used. (100million car a year at an average of 12,000 miles per year driving would equate to a savings of over 30 Billion gallons a year!)

Imagine that instead of a country buying millions of disposible bottles of water we all carried thermoses with cold filtered tap water. Think of the millions of gallons of oil used in plastices and the emptier landfills.

Imagine that if 30 years ago we had all agreed that all new construction in this country required solar panels. Now think of your electricity bills being 50% of what they and how much coal and oil that represents. ( if you live at home ask your parents to show you their utility bills for a given month then multiply that by the number of months your family has lived in the home)

We don't have these thing because, we resist change, are lazy and want our politicians to lie to us and tell us everything if fine and dandy.

So who is responsible....look in the mirror

Answer 5

Just watched news on Some US channel this morning where they said there is enough oil and that the rise in price is made by speculators! So it is the greed of investors who spread rumors of shortage and then buy oil stocks which triple in value!

Answer 6

Mostly, believe it or not, it is the democrats.

The Democrats block the republicans from drilling oil from Alaska and various other places.  GAS PRICES COULD BE A DOLLAR A GALLON RIGHT NOW, but no, democrats will not let us drill our own oil.  They want to wait for someone to come up with a better fuel first.  HEY that makes sense!  So when we discover this better fuel source, we won't need the oil anymore which we could be using now!

All the fighting in the foreign oil countries is to blame also.  Go look at the leader of Venezuela.  They are getting gas for less than TEN CENTS a gallon.  The leader of Venezuela mocks us and laughs at us for paying 40 times what they are paying.  Why?  Because they are drilling oil from their own country.

And guess what happens when every other country is out of oil (This will take 100-200 years aprox.)  The other countries are going to look at us for it.  So much potential fighting in this.

So, blame the democrats.  Remember when you're at the pump, you could be paying a dollar a gallon, but no, the democrats want us to stay dependent on foreign oil and use our own oil as a last resort.

Answer 10

Mr. ????--huzzah and a star to you.

Answer 11

If you're into reading, read this:

"Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil" by Jerome R. Corsi, Ph. D. and Craig R. Smith, CEO, Swiss America.  

The library where I live (KC) had to do a national search for this book.

The people responsible for the pricing of oil are the Arabs and the Americans as well as the Chinese, last but not least the Liberal population, OPEC, environmentalists, conservationists and those who would lead you to believe that the amount of oil in the world is finite. Oil is not a fossil fuel as we have been taught (brainwashed) into believing. Oil is an abiotic substance. It is not from dead dinosaurs or ancient tropical forests.

Scientists, geologists as well as other well-educated people back the above-mentioned book. At the back of the book there are acknowledgements and notes by professional people. That way you know that the authors did their 'homework' and researched everything that is printed.

"Minds are like books, they only work when they are open."

EDIT: We will not run out of oil there is plenty to go around, others would have you believe otherwise. When oil wells were first being drilled, natural gas was being burned off, like it was nothing because we did not know what to do with it. Kind of crazy but that is the way it was and now look we use natural gas all the time. If the mindset is we have X amount of oil world wide then that is why the price will go up. I don’t want to have to depend on the Middle East for oil and we as a nation don’t have to. The abiotic oil is just deeper than the oil that they are drilling now. Think of oil as the ‘blood’ of the earth and the earth naturally produces it from deep below the surface near the core. It comes up through fissures and cracks in the mantle. This was proven after WWII, Stalin listened to his scientists, and we/America did not. So Russia is pulling up the abiotic oil and has been since WWII. Seriously, read that book it will have your eyes wide open.

SECOND EDIT: I am NOT a sheeple. I also know that not to many people read this far in the answer part. To bad for everyone who is more intuned to the brainwashing.. tsk...

Answer 12

Their are many factors The Emerging Chinese Economy as a

Economic power, The Indian emergence out of the 3 rd world status, The fact that Du bi will be out of OIL in 3 years,

The war that the PRES. GWB has in IRAQ, and the fact that the OIL company's have NOT yet come to terms with the fact that they are in the business of Energy not OIL.

are the most biggest Reasons we are suffering at the PUMP

Answer 13

In the US you can blame anyone that fights the construction of nuclear power plants, new refineries, and drilling in the gulf and Alaska.

Answer 14

Greedy big oil companies, and these greedy speculators on Wall Street who are driving up the price of commodities. Don't listen to these fools who are telling something otherwise.

Answer 15

people who dont drill in there own country

Answer 16

The World wide sufferings are because of oil. Developing nations, market manipulators, and the fear of war are a few of the problems for the rise in oil

Answer 17

I think the politicians are the greedy geese for oil. They have been looking at profit for themselves but not looked at the world scenario where oil supply is diminishing exponentially.

The only solution is a world meeting where all the presidents meet and decide to stop usage of oil in limited time and start using renewable resources failing which their country is given a severe penalty which could ruin the country so that there is no country willing to ignore it. Only then will people pressurize the government constantly to stop usage of oil and other non-renewable resources.

Answer 18

people who dont want to drill in america

Answer 19

I have read some ans. that really make me steam. First of all don't blame one person for this, my way of thinking is that the reason  for this is PURE GREED. When a Sheik from one Arab country makes so much profit from selling oil to other countries, he decides to make a island so all his rich and famous friends will have a place to go and not be bothered by the lower class. NOW who is responsible. North America has enough oil reserves,natural gas, coal, and water to power anything. Get people back on the road of helping to generate more work in these areas and we won't have to rely on Iran,Iraq and South Saudi Arabia. The people of this Continent have grown lazy by letting governments decide things and all they think of is woe is me , what are to do. Tell the feds to get up of their lazy buns and push up the production home. Canada is one of the riches in natural resources and there is no need of this mess we are in. We should be producing more instead of listening to these do gooders who end up screaming the loudest when there is no more fuel for anyone

Answer 20

Rather than trying to fix the blame "on Mame " it would be much more constructive, to find a remedy for the rising prices. We can start with gardening.......shopping for locally grown food, that needs less transporting.....any more ideas ?

I keep hearing voices of Peace..... and with Peace comes prosperity......

Answer 21

George Bush Jr. This guy has stakes in the oil industry and is making billions from his investments in the oil market. It's all a game.

Answer 22

Decode this lyrics " I will follow him"

How king midas with the golden touch and withered hands.

Had touch everything in life into gold.

Matt 27.29,37

When he hollered " Charge of the light calvary"

Infront of the TV and in the newsprints.

As tribe of a Rudeness tribe.

In kicking the butts of children of own community with self lack of knowledge.

In kicking the butts of God in not worshiping God.

All for cheap-skate glory and success in idol worshiping the dead Mummy of failures and horrors of the past from graveyards of different ghostly ancestor's culture and custom in messing up someone else graveyards.

As success and glory of past civilization.
