This is what drill baby drill got you

The nations oil refineries are smoking at capacity.  We have more oil wells pumping and more new wells being drilled than ever before, pipelines are under construction everywhere to move it to market.

Why have'nt gas prices fallen substantially?  Improvement in the American fleet's MPG is preventing demand from growing.  So?

Diesel!  Diesel makes oil men more money, and dirty diesel makes lots.  Our coastal refiners are producing less gas, thereby assuring a slight shortage and a high price.  The rest is made into diesel and shipped overseas.  The poorer nations of the world don't have standards on diesel, so they can make the dirtiest cheapest shit possible and the trucks in 3rd world nations throw that carbon and soot into the sky to blot out the light.

And that damn pipeline from Canada..........that thing will not lower our prices one penny either, almost all of it is already under contract to be exported, the rest is to be used as fuel to burn/refine what will be shipped.

My war buddy Sarge at oneangryzebra is caught up in some kind of Spam accusations.  It has to be a mistake, I don't think he has the computer power, skill or motive to be a spammer.  He may leave an unwelcome post somewhere I suppose, but not spam.  AOL is not exactly a spammers link to the world either.  He moved over to tumblr for the moment, same address otherwise swap blogger to tumblr.
