Its not cheap to launch stuff into space. Also, what happens if there is a spill or something goes wrong when its launched and it falls back down to earth? Also, we don't know what effects it may have in space.

It went up $11 in one day and we are only $12 away. I think it's highly likely that it will hit $200 by the 4th if not higher.
Thank you Bush, you will most likely be rightfully blamed on thousands of American deaths because we will freeze to death without heating oil.
I miss 79 cent gas, that was only 10 years ago.

I'm in the party that this price is partially, if not completely due to the Iraq war. As the other guy pointed out a chart, high oil prices have generally been due to wars. The current Iraq war in specific has more than tripled the price of oil in the last 5 years. The first Iraq war we had also saw a high spike. The Iran-Contra hostage crisis anyone? We were damn near close to war, and what did we see in the early 80's? What about Vietnam and our crisis of the 70's? Need I go on?
Maybe its just close minded thinking, but this freak out always happens whenever something goes way up in price. I'm in the party of stop stressing yourself out.

I think it will exceed $150 a barrel but drop down after the holiday back to something far more reasonable. Right now it's at about $138 a barrel. So, going to $150 doesn't seem far fetched. However, I see it dropping as low as $125 as we head towards fall.

$200 by July 4th is hard to believe. The prices really only go up after drastic bad news is reported. And it just so happened that on Thursday, the Europe bank head honcho guy said he wouldn't raise interest rates, which hurt the dollar, and on friday, the report on unemployment came out, which pretty much killed everything for the day; the stock market, oil prices, etc. Unless those Nigerian rebels wage a full on war on that oil pipeline, and Israel invades Iran next week, I doubt prices will skyrocket again this week. $150 by the 4th of July seems likely, but it would take A LOT of bad luck and bad news to make it to $200.
[quote name='btw1217']Gas will go down once this war ends.
Or so I hope.

the war is more of a coincidence rather then the reason for gas going up in price. 2 major contributors is that they are drilling for less oil now. They cut back on there production a while back. The major infleunce (besides the weak dollar) is that china is buying up a shitload of oil. We didn't have that competition to buy the oil before.

love how people think Gas is going to 5 or 6 bucks per gallon.
If gas ever hits 5 bucks or 6 bucks Your going to see the nation just shut down....
Say it takes 2 gallons of gas to get to work each way...... (20 bucks at 5) 24 bucks at 6.
If someone makes 8 bucks an hour for 8 hours 64 bucks. take taxes out will leave you around 40 bucks. take gas away
take home pay 20 bucks (gas 5)
take home pay 16 bucks (gas 6)
sorry but your not going to see people willing to work for 2 bucks per hour.
hell if it takes 4 gallons each way.... 40 bucks to 48 bucks in gas you would be working for FREE.

There are alternatives. Bikes, buses, trains, and walking. Granted not everyone has alternatives but there are some. I personally have been doing a lot of walking lately, especially to the grocery store. Once I get a bike I will be riding it everywhere I can.

Fast breeder reactors. Conventional nuclear reactors only use a small percentage of the potential energy in the nuclear material, which is why its such nasty stuff. These newer reactors can keep re-using that same fuel until its almost completely spent, as a result, the waste produced is much less radioactive for much less time. These types of reactors are being used successfully in Japan and France. About 80% of France's electricity and 30+% of Japan's are generated by nuclear power.
With what little waste you have left, you can seal it up and drop it into a deeper part of the ocean. Or bury it. It wouldn't be as big a deal at this point.
If you want to achieve true energy independence as well as reduce greenhouse emissions, looking only at transportation is shortsighted. You have to get off of coal, gas, and oil for electricity, which are your alternatives. Solar, hydro, and wind only work in Sim City, they're impractical for the sheer volume of energy we need to generate.
Nuclear power is much cheaper, ~$10 of nuclear fuel gets you energy equal to 3 barrels of oil, do the math. Cheaper energy benefits the economy. The reduced demand for oil would also offset some of these high costs we're seeing now.

We need to get the economy good again. With interest rates so low, people are investing in oil, which will bring the price up. Once interest rates go up, people will opt out, and gas prices will go down.
We need to fix the economy.

More and more people just stay the home because the trip itself costs too damn much. They'll raise gas for sure though, because the 4th is on a Friday and makes it potentially a bigger vacation weekend than Memorial Day weekend traditionally is. Might be the only time some people get out of town all year.
Here's an idea for a protest: stop mowing your lawns until gas goes below $3 a gallon. One of the most effective forms of protest is an eyesore. Then refuse en masse to pay the city if they mow it for you and try to stick you with a bill.

p.s. to the person who said $8 was "minimum wage": Chicago supposedly has the highest gas prices of the nation. I'll tell you right now that Northwest Indiana hits a little higher. Minimum wage in Indiana is $5.85/hr. Isn't that crazy?!

How come when anyone says anything about America needing to become self-sufficient on oil, there are idiots who start ranting about how we would run out of oil sooner or later if we drilled and built new refineries? Where do these geniuses come from? Of course if we continued on the same path we have been for the past 50 years we would eventually run out. The point of bringing our own oil out of the ground is not that we have an endless, untapped supply. The point is to stop funding terrorism (Iran, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela), as well as to alleviate the artificial "demand" increases in price while we work on alternative energy solutions. GM has already slashed SUV and truck production permanently. All auto makers are working on $150mpg+ hybrids.
The retards who think anyone who wants to drill ANWR, the Gulf coast, the Intermountain West, or anywhere else in this country has to be notihng more than a fat Republican tied to oil investments, just looking to line their own pockets need to go kill themselves. People who want to drill here just want to provide a means to avoid $10/gal gas before we are able to get switched ovwer to more efficient cars and other energies.
I only buy Sinclair gas. Most of the stuff comes out of Wyoming and Utah. Down with terror oil companies!
