I'm sure if there was a lot of oil in the USA, George Bush would be sending out the cavalry to drill for it. I guess much of the oil is in the Northern region, particularily in Alaska which is in the Arctic so it could result in breaking enviromental laws, not that I'm sure he cares too much about air quality. What I don't get are why people keep moaning about the prices, everythings going up, it's what happens it's not something new. If it was too expensive then some people should cut down and use public transport and stop wasting electricity.
