Let me say this; gas prices are too high now! We need some action now! I'm sick of going to the pumps and paying 3.86 for gas and than having to refill so quick that I don't even believe all my gas was given to me. Obama reevaluated his energy policy to a community college in Maryland. He states that if he is reelected back in office, he will make sure that gas is lowered to 2.50. Do you believe him? I tried researching about drilling because it is not something I am educated on. However, I did find that at minimum it can take three months to drill a 20,000 to 30,000 foot hole. And that is not based on all valid information because in doing other research, I found that the same hole can take almost a year.
I continued to research and found that that same hole can't be determined because it depends on who is drilling it as well as the type of drill being used. However, the more drilling that is taking place, the least the cost of gas will be. How so? I do not know. There are experts that says more oil is being produced when there is more drilling going which lower gas prices and than there are experts who say that is a lie. Whatever the true issue is with oil, the public will never really know. However, if gas can go back to 99 cents instead of increasing with the economic growth as is everything else (AHA!) I will be satisfied as well as every other American who drives a car! Or just maybe this is a sign to go back to riding horses and walking. I wonder if can I get a horse to stop at all the stop signs and red lights? Although, if 2.50 is the best you can do President Obama than it is way better than four dollars.
