I heard over and over again the charge being made during the Bush Administration. "Bush is in bed with big oil" The fact that it SPIKED, once in eight years, can't be compared to three plus years of 3.50 a gallon prices of your hero's administration. Or the fact that he is trying to kill the pipeline. How does an oil company's willingness to make a profit by exporting gas make a political point for (bolded) you? You said you had no problem with the pipeline if it didn't go across (your words) "that waterway." I gave you the link for a map published by a liberal source showing HUNDREDS of pipelines going across "that waterway," Additionally, 95% of the whole state of Nebraska rests over the Ogallala Aquifer, matter of fact, if Nebraska lost the land not over the aquifer, they'd never miss it! What is the difference in your mind regarding this particular pipeline crossing the state of Neb vs the existing pipelines?

One minute you're saying we're about to run out of fossil fuels and we have to develope renewable energy sources, which, don't exist yet by the way, the next, you're arguing the point that we are awash in the stuff, which is it? If the pipeline doesn't go to Texas it is headed for China the way I hear it. Even you can't be in favor of that outcome. Advocating for the closure of viable electrical generating stations, high gas prices, blocking the Canadian pipeline, strangling coal mining/clean air regulations and oil drilling moratoriums in the gulf and Alaska, just cannot be reconciled with sound logic or the good of America IMO I guess that's why it's a democratic position

Let me go real slow, so you can keep up. First, You said, "If we have a surplus of gasoline right now why is it so high?" This thread is about a link that in fact, shows that we have a surplus of gas and are exporting it to foreign countries.

Second point(what I bolded above), your statement is an outright lie, or just plain ignorance of what really was. Gas didn't just "spike once", it was through the roof the last four years that Bush 2 was in office, all except just before the last part of the year(2008), just before the general election. In 2004 gas was around 2.50 a gallon, and climbed steadily up to 3.50 late in 2008, where it dropped just before the general election.
