You / we need to know the real reason why prices go up and down over the long term.
So you are essentially saying we can open it all up, let them drilling to their hearts content, and even though we hear that it'll help lower energy costs in reality we are just going to keep the forced priced increase lower than what they originally would be?

If that's the case, what's the point? That's when we need to start pushing more (and improved) hybrid vehicles that would only use a couple gallons every few hundred miles. Of course I have a feeling if we do that, they are just going to turn around and charge $15/gal to make up for the drop in demand. IOW, we are in a no win situation.
