No Drilling and Gas prices

I will gladly pay 10 cents more a gallon in exchange for no drilling.

Oh, me too. But many people won't...it won't be long before we are subjected to the "have to drill because we have to keep Florida's oil for Floridians...have to free ourselves from foreign oil...."etc.

It could have been investors buying up commodities, but that's just the rational part of my brain.

I think you are spot on and we finally agree on something.
Where is the confetti?

does anyone else feel manipulated....the president announces the no drilling ban and the next day the price of gas jumps 10c/gal...

and is our Gov Elect out of touch with most Floridians on this subject?

No conspiracy. Alaska and California drill but they pay more at the pump than do Floridians. Florida has higher gas prices relative to neighboring states due to state and local taxes.

The tried and true 'if we drill in Florida we will have cheaper gas' myth is spread freely by the pro-drilling lobby and their useful idiots.

Every time they pull crap like that they make it that much easier for me to ride my bike, walk, and justify solar panels.
