The frozen perma frost is "pristine." Laughable.
Which is safer enviro-nazis: third world countries shipping by oil tanker or our trained union workers following the US' overly zealous laws and regulations?

OPEC sets the price of oil and so drilling won't make any difference. Also without refinery capacity increased where would the oil be processed? This lack of refineries also keeps prices hight. When a CLEAN refinery can be developed and operated people are more likely to accept it in their back yards. That alone would save billions in the cost at the pump. Unfortunately there are those in the oil industry who don't want to spend the money to clean things up because it is not cost effective. Instead they keep things as they are and charge ever increasing prices fattening their wallets by the day.

The kids at the ARA spot market trading pit in Rotterdam would lower the price at the mere suggestion of it's possibility.
Those are the most panicky punks on the planet.

It is the production rate that drives up the prices, we have a huge oil reseve the US government has amassed over the years. There is no oil shortage, just a shortage in the capacity to mass produce usable petroleum.

It would eventually go down a little but the larger issue is refinery capacity. If we build new refineries we could see prices drop. Here in my state the democrats are already talking about increasing the gas tax- lucky us.

What would the price be if all the money spent on the Dictator Dumbya Big Lie Iraqi Crusade was spent on an energy independence policy? Even Tricky Dick gave lip service to energy independence. Dictator Dumbya said we are "addicted". Down with Dictator Dumbya!!!

What would the gas price at the pumps be if we weren't dependent on oil period, regardless of where it came from? We don't need new oil, we need to get rid of our addiction to it.

Exactly the same. It would take two years to get the production to the pump.

The price of gas will go up, and Alaskans will get nothing back in return for their oil.

just one more fix eh junkie? then you swear you're off the needles? how about dedicating some oil subsidy funding to renewable fuel source research? how much will the price of oil be when we run out without having adequately researched any alternatives?
