Don’t Get Used To Low Gas Prices; Iran Seeks Cut In Opec Production

// December 15th, 2008 // ECONOMY, ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

When we hit $4.00 a gallon for gas the American people threw all their environmental cares out the window and called for more drilling for oil. Now that gas has gone back down to $1.70 or so per gallon the sigh of relief maybe short lived. According to FOX News those lovable Iranians miss the high oil prices. The Iranian Oil Ministry says Iran is proposing a production cut of around 2 million barrels per day.

It may be time to dust off your Drill Here, Drill Now bumper sticker. What most people forget is that this is all about supply and demand. If the Iranians can reduce the oil supply prices will go up. That’s the cost for doing business with our enemy.

Some of you who are more liberal minded may say, “that’s why we need to use less oil”, or “that’s why we need hybrid vehicles and alternative fuels.” Here is my reply, I DON’T WANT TO USE LESS OIL! I DON’T WANT A SISSY HYBRID CAR! I DON’T WANT TO USE ETHANOL! I want to drive the biggest car I can just to spite all of the environmentalist freaks. Whenever I see a hybrid on the road I get right in front of them and lay on the gas so as to expel my harmful carbon emissions their way.

Don’t be lulled by the present low gas prices. They will be rising again soon. Now is the time to continue to push for more drilling.
