I agree that the USA should find and develop alternative energy in particular "green energy". Bush really doesn't want to though as he went to Iraq for the oil because his buddies and he make more money. He doesn't really give a crap about the public!!!

      Oh foolish one. Oil goes to the closest point. The oil is bought at the same price worldwide They then ship to the closest point to reduce shipping charges. The US gets most of its oil from Mexico and Canada. Only 20% from elsewhere.

        You are exactly right. We get 40% from Canada 35% from Mexico, 12% from the middle east, with the remaining 13% from our own resources.

How much is this costing us? I certainly hope he's flying on public trasportation and not burning my gas.

Since we are not in the position, we just have to cross hands that their action will help the public in this crisis we are facing now.

Why aren't we raising our costs on exports of foods to these countries ? Everything should be proportionate . You raise oil , we raise price of corn , wheat and other exported foods .
