Last week while watching c-span, i followed the progress of the proposed legislation re: loosening up the restrictions on oil and gas exploration and developinment of the use of our natural resources. During the votes on various proposals, I kept switching to Fox business channel to check the per barrel price of oil, it was so interesting that every time a vote went in favor to increased exploration and production of our own oil reserves, the price dropped rapidly ending in a price under 100. it wud appear that the threat of using our own reserves drives the international price down, which shud ultimitly result in lower prices per gallon at the pump. I find this observation an interesting insight into the administrations insistances that we continue our dependance on foriegn oil to send our dollars to aqreas of the world who r supplying our terrorists with guns and amunition being used to kill our brave troops who r fighting to try to bring some improvement to this screwed up world.
