    Thought supply and demand had no effect on prices??



    Oil is at $49.00+-

    The US suspended filling the reserve in may when oil was over$100 a barrel.NOW would be a very good time to start again.

    China is doing the very same thing right now.

    It does seem inconsistent, doesn't it? The government saying spent fuel that lasts for 20000 years is "safe" sounds like a conspiracy to me! Oh wait, let me guess, the conspiracy is that spent fuel doesn't stay toxic for 20000 years, that is the lie, its perfectly harmless

    How many gallons do we have now? Are we buying because China is? My understanding was before the economic meltdown we had the highest surplus in history. Do we need more? Or are we buying because it will raise the price?

    701 million barrels = 29,442,000,000 gallons.

    about 91% full.

    Is China buying because the US is?

    I thinking it might be the price.

    The highest surplus was right before Katrina Aug. 05

    Before the "meltdown" ,remember Gustav and Ike?

    Whats wrong with having the Strategic Oil Reserves full ?

    We're only 6 months away from Hurricane Season.

    Like it did all they other times?

    I think that on closer inspection you will find that Rat is not a proponent of anything. Having "views" on "issues" is for people that haven't woken up yet.

    Why not? It's the media that has brainwashed you into thinking nuclear power is evil. It's the best form of energy we have today.

    Nuclear power was discredited in large part by... guess who? THE OIL INDUSTRY!!!
