#3 You don't need to dip into the Strategic Reserve if you allow exploitation of existing resources. How are those Gulf licenses going? How are the boys doing over at EPA in ~~prohibiting~~ regulating fracking?

Won't make a lot of difference as Bernanke just devalues the currency again causing the 'dollar' to be worth less against commodities. When you export more than you import of the stuff, the price is being impacted by domestic monetary issues, not scarcity.

#7 Just ask the Saudis, there is no 'oil shortage'. They could pump even more if needed, but they are running out of places to store it. Tapping our stratigic reserve is insane. There is plenty of oil, now refined gasolines that meet the spiderweb of state govt requirements could be another story.

#9 The Saudis keep saying they can meet demands, so let 'em do or prove so.

Personally, iff our future OWG-NWO Govts, Perts consensus as per "Peak Oil/Resources", etc. is that there is no consensus, I rather they expand the strategic oil reserve, not tap it.

You can just hear POTUS Teddy Roosevelt going "BULLY - D *** MN THE POLITICS, THE TORPEDOES, + THE CONGRESS, MAN"! can't ya???
