DISCLAIMER TO THIS POST: The following post in this thread is not directed towards any particular person, political party, or affiliates. I would appreciate that no statement be taken out of context or used to insinuate another statement that was not expressly made. I mean no harm with this post other than to offer my opinion. It is my hope that no one will be offended by the following comments, and they be taken into consideration. Also, don't flame me too bad.

I think that it is funny that people here support this action, when I was looking through threads just yesterday of people damning Congress for its trials against the oil companies. While you may not see the connection between the two for whatever reason, I do.
They are both moves pandering to the people. Neither are attempting to move in the correct direction. This results from our nation as a whole and its demand for instant gratification. I applaud the people on this website who realize that this must be undertaken with continued search for energy alternatives. However if the people in this country are given what they want now (cheaper gas) they will pay for it eventually. The only reason the outcry for alternatives has been so strong, and the development so progressive, is because of the increased prices and the people's discomfort to live with them.
I advise, for the sake of our nation as a whole, that people suck it up, and learn to deal with tough love. The fewer resources we have, the greater the push will be for newer and more efficient energies. In response, the future government will make more pandering moves to increase funding in these advances. This ordeal will only be solved long term and with a little gritting of our collective teeth for the time being.

I guarantee you the oil companies are planning on the long term, which is why they hoard oil and oil bearing land. This is becuase the less they give to the market, the more they can sell it for later, simple economics. They wouldn't pump up all the oil they can and sell it as fast as possible like some speculate, because that's not good business. Those CEO's have patience, and we need to have the same, because they understand what a long term payoff is.
