Stop drilling off US waters or Alaska for oil. Use up all the oil from the middle east, Russia, Africa, and South America. Sure we all pay 3 bucks a gallon. Once its all used up then we can start drilling in the US and then the world will be ours!!!! Ha Ha Ha HA HA AHAHAHAHAHSDHASFHD
WE will no longer be held hostage by these greedy ungrateful Mo Fo's
I saw a PowerPoint presentation where it is shown an interior downhill ski resort in the middle of the desert. Millions gallon of fosil water is being used to maintain this. As you may not know the water used is not renewable. When it is gone that's it, no more undergound water in that area. It is hard to believe that in these day and age wasting and putting millions of future residents at risk is still acceptable.

actually, if we wait long enough China and Mexico and Cuba will be tapping into ours.
they have already started a drilling agreement for international waters in the Gulf of Mexico... Which the Florida Legislature has banned in florida waters, but isn't binding on other nations in international waters...

Oil is a non-renewable resource .... it will run out one day - just a matter of when. Looking for more sources to drill into won't matter in the long run; we need alternative energy sources already developed before the oil goes dry (or becomes so expensive that we go bankrupt).

Thanks to PocketBrain for bringing the parrot to life!! :)
Just a few weeks ago there was a great report on, I think 60 minutes, saying that it was almost a fallacy that we'll run out soon. They said there's tons of oil in Canada mixed in dirt, and that when oil was cheap it wasn't worth extracting. Now that the price has risen it is now worth trying to extract. The report was quite convincing. They showed many people, as far back as Pres. Carter, saying we'll run out of oil soon, yet there's a huge supply.
So, do drill in the U.S. for oil, and develop alternatives at the same time. Once we have the alternatives perfected, the middle east will be too poor to develop their own alternatives, will have all that oil, but nobody to sell it to. Yeahhh.

Yes, there is still lots of oil out there, but the fields simplest to extract or with the least environmental impact are already being tapped. I don't think we're in danger of suddenly running out of oil, but it is a fact that oil is a non-renewable resource, and if we don't develop alternative energy sources then we're just hiding our heads in the sand (Ha!) and not planning for the future. Sure, you can extract the oil from almost anywhere if you're willing to pay enough, but if we have cheaper energy sources then we're better off, IMHO.

Why use ours when we can use up there first, then we can hoard it and when they desparately need OUR oil, we can say screw you and charge them 50 bucks a gallon. And all US Citizens would get a cut. Ha Ha Ha Ha!!
but it is a fact that oil is a non-renewable resource
um.... oil is made from decomposing animals and plants right. so if animals and plants that have decomposed 100 million years ago(I don't know exact figures just guessitmating) and we are using the oil from them, wouldn't in 100 million years from now, after you and me are dead, that humans or who/what ever uses oil would be using oil from a renewable source?
if animals and plants a 100 million years ago is now oil, won't we turn into oil in a 100 million years? and if so isn't that in fact renewable?

I would then say that we are using it faster that it is generated. i.e we are pumping out what took millions of years to generate in only a few centuries.
So techically it may be renewable, but not in the short term... which is all that the instant gratification soceity is concerned with
