Why have oil prices increased 400 percent?
- Thread starter vinnie
- Start date
Chavez: No. The International Humanitarian Bank. We are just creating an alternative way to conduct financial exchange. It is based on cooperation. For example, we send oil to Uruguay for their refinery and they are paying us with cows.
Q: Milk for oil.
Chavez: That's right. Milk for oil. The Argentineans also pay us with cows. And they give us medical equipment to combat cancer. It's a transfer of technology. We also exchange oil for software technology. Uruguay is one of the biggest producers of software. We are breaking with the neoliberal model. We do not believe in free trade. We believe in fair trade and exchange, not competition but cooperation. I'm not giving away oil for free. Just using oil, first to benefit our people, to relieve poverty. For a hundred years we have been one of the largest oil-producing countries in the world but with a 60 percent poverty rate and now we are canceling the historical debt.
Very, very interesting. Anything that cuts the bankers out of the loop is positive.

how about fertilizer for oil for Chavez. Bush and Cheney are full of it. And we have a endless supply of the shit in America.
Shit for Oil !
****ing crazy

Stop posting garbage.
Oil is up because we can't drill for it ourselves, since democrats have put our reserves off-limits.
Just do some reading. The president has been pushing to open ANWAR for drilling (not the kind Scott-atlanta or Kosar are used to, either) since he got in.
Crude oil is among the worlds most abundant resource. There's more of it than wheat, sugar rice, sorghum, or any type of foodstuff, yet, the prices keep going up, EVEN WITH YOUR VAULTED DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS.

This is about a dozen threads on subjects and they all have one thing in common--most continuely whining about the price of gas are the very same that will vote for those refusing to drill here and wanting to impose higher gas taxes--
yeh the whiners.
Gas in Germany has been over 5 bucks a gallon for years.
boo hoo
Drill in New York if we have to

OIL as risen drastically last couple weeks because nearly 30 percent of production has been ceased in middle East for "seasonal maintenance". Why was this done now? Because it is the start of the summer driving season, ie memorial day weekend.
I was wondering if the ascended mage or gw or any other neocon Bush apologists have any idea how much oil, best case scenario, is in the ANWAR reserves and how long that oil would sustain US consumption. (I will give you a hint, its less than a year). It just baffles me how Rush and the like fill your heads with garbage and then you go about spouting the nonsense as though it represents reality and original thought. Oil has increased 400% under Bush and Cheney because of Clinton and ANWAR. Just baffling.
we produce our own oil in abundance here in canada and the equvilant to the us gallon tonight is
$1.28 liter
$ 1 U.S. Gallon = 3.785 Liters
so would be approx $4.85 per gallon........we are paying....
urgh!!!!!!!!!
worse thing this country did was switch from imperial to liters.....hides alot of bs.

this is the first answer that makes any sense. thank you, fat daddy - this helped.
I love how the media spews news about a bunch of numbers to get people fired up, e.g. XOM made billions last quarter. It takes a lot money to run oil companies and their ROI is about 8%, compare that to other verticals where the average ROI is 7.5-7.9%.
Why didn't Bush and the Republicans push for drilling in the SIX YEARS they had complete control. You morons don't have any idea what you are talking about.[/QUOTE]

Senate blocks filibuster-proof vote on ANWR
Human Events, Mar 31, 2003
On March 19, by a vote of 52 to 48, the Senate approved an amendment by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D.-Calif.) to prevent consideration of drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in a fast-track budget reconciliation bill.
The amendment will prevent the Senate from considering ANWR drilling as part of the budget process. Under Senate rules, if it were considered as part of the budget process, a filibuster could not be used to block it.

Again you don't answer the question. When Bush and the Republicans controlled everything for 6 years why didn't they drill then? Plus, they had the added boost of this being right after 9-11 that they could have used for leverage to not be dependent on Arab oil. But it didn't happen. So I ask again DTB Why not?
