> [@SVshine03](#): > > Ok … And that is why america is stuck. I have never even heard of this guy. People don’t know other options and probably took the same view as me in this last election.

I did and I was agreeing with you that other parties aren’t exposed enough - I know I certaintly never heard of the guy – But I think because it was going to be such a close “Every vote counts” race alot of people voted for the lesser of the evils. If they voted the other way they would get practically no where except ok we have just an ass hair more exposrure or to say that they didn’t vote for either one. Like I said previously if someone can do it better more efficient Job GREAT bring um on… ---

> [@Darkstar](#): > > thats BS. the demand hasnt changed a bit. Everyone rushed out this one night to get gas before this big increase. but their tanks will go empty and they will have to fill up again. People were responding to a change in the market, not the other way around. the demand hasn’t changed, yet poeple were overflowing out of gas station parking lots in line to pump gas… that does happen all the time… i must be imagining shit. ---

> [@RebelW26GT](#): > > He’s actually doing worse then average, he could be helping to promote alternative fuel resources, but he’s doing the very minimum. He also helped to over turn alot of the enviormental reforms that clinton helped to inact. As far as voting him in, i would say america as a whole voted him, he won by the slimest of margins, and the people who did vote for him and regreting it by looking at his approval ratings. … so within a week of a tremendous hurricane and the american public freaking out and using 170% the amount of gasoline as normal consumption, the president should push for e85 to be at all pumps, battery power cars to only be sold, and hydrogen powered cars be swapped for gas? i don’t get it… what do you want to happen… snap his fingers and people just don’t need gas? getting away from gas is a fucking HUGE ordeal… you seem to be a smart guy … so you already know that gasoline is used for a number of things NOT RELATED TO DRIVING A VEHICLE… how about heating costs? soaps and detergents? making plastic? and other things that require petroleum based surfactants… i mean come on…? what about the walmart fleet of gas burning volvo trucks they just spend billions on? they are looking at 100 million increase in energy costs… alot of good a battery powered car will do for that. turn over enviromental reforms that were BULLSHIT… like the whole global warming / ozone bullshit… read the paper today? the trib printed the study on the ozone and global warmnig that clinton signed the studys and reforms for… check it out. ---

You’re making way to many assumptions about what I’m saying, and then arguing about the assumptions. So now I have to argue about things I never said or implied. Through everything I’ve said, I’ve been saying bush hasn’t been a significant force towards enviormental change. I am saying or expecting him to magically change things tomorow, no way. But I do look for there to be progress of some sort, not for their to be stepping back in the opposite direction. ---

They arent using any more, they just decided to all buy it at the same time. Its the same way with those stupid ass “everyone boycott buying gas on Sept 15”… it doesnt make a lick of difference. They will still either have to fill up the day before of the day after. The same amount of gas is being bought and used. ---

They show a bunch of people trying to hurry up and get a tank of gas in before a big ass rate hike. If they arent consuming more, then they arent demanding more. People dont buy the stuff and keep it sitting around in barrels. consumption is equally proportional to demand. and if you really think that the people driving away from the storm and the rescue helicopters are really influencing national gas prices, you are retarded. ---
