Oil prices have dropped to around $56 a barrel. T. Boone Pickens was on Fox this morning talking about delaying his push for alternative energy because oil and natural gas prices are too low to drive demand for wind farms. Mr. Pickens then went on to say he expects oil demand to exceed “peak oil” in the near future and prices to go back up.

Oil dropped below $100 today. Hitting $99.99 in New York. It’s only a penny, but its the best looking penny I’ve seen in quite a while. With OPEC cutting production and a hurricane in the gulf, why is oil still dropping?

Supposedly Nancy Pelosi is now open to voting on domestic drilling. The media is going to carry this bag for her, but don’t be fooled. If domestic drilling amounts to the supposed “compromise” Lindsey Graham, Saxby Chambliss and three other Republican Senators worked out in their Gang of Ten, don’t expect the oil [...]

Crude futures are still dropping, trading below $114 a barrel, the lowest level since May. There are a lot of reasons for the current declines… a big part of it is demand continuing to stay lower than previous years as Americans adjust their driving habits to a tight family budget. Another big part [...]

She can’t sell books, and she certainly isn’t presiding over the most open and most ethical Congress in history, or doing the people’s work while she’s off shilling her wares on a 5-week paid vacation. She’s blocking a vote on drilling domestically for oil even while the us real Americans are suffering at the [...]

Yesterday we released three new Pro Domestic Drilling T-Shirts. We also have some “Drill Now Yard Signs” to be released later today. Keep the pressure on Washington, and support representatives who are not accepting Nancy Pelosi’s “NO” and Barack Obama’s gimmicks.

Yesterday I filled up with regular unleaded at $3.78 a gallon… the cheapest I had seen (if you can call that cheap) in a while. I found out a few miles away, another service station actually had it for $3.69. Wish I had gone there.
What caused the drop in crude futures and thus the price of gas at the pump? Certainly President Bush’s repeal of an executive order banning drilling off the coastal shelf had something to do with it. Now imagine if Congress actually acted and allowed drilling to start. How much more could oil (and gas) prices fall?

Well, President Bush has done his part, lifting the executive order that prohibited offshore drilling. Now its congress’ turn. Any guesses how long it will take them?
Any other year, and I’d bet they’d hold off indefinitely. But this is an election year and the masses (myself included) are plenty ticked about gas [...]

Join the Off Shore Drill Team and send a message to Congress and the world that enough is enough. Its time to use our own natural resources to protect our economy and our sovereignty. We can lower gas prices and create jobs right here at home.
