Tapping the SOR is the stupidest thing Bush has done yet.
The SOR should ONLY be used as a hedge against the Middle East or OPEC shutting off the taps, this is nothing if they ever actually do that.
You know what, I always defend the US and Americans in Canada, but seriously GROW UP. Even with the gas price increase you still have the cheapest gas globally. We pay 4.50 in canada !
Even with more refining capacity, the price wont' go down that much because the oil companies have to recoup the cost of the refineries.
Simple fact, supply is steady, demand is increasing drastically.
High gas prices are here to stay, DEAL with it. The days of cheap oil is no more so move on.
But no, the US just has to keep buying 7mpg Excursions and Suburbans for Mommy to drop off Jimmy three blocks from home. The country is seriously digging it's own grave deeper and deeper with SUV sales.
I also blame the US government, I commend Bush on having the balls to go into Iraq, now he has to have balls to force conservation and alternate fuels like methane down the public's throats. I had a hope he was the right person for the job, I guess not.
