T&T: $100 + a barrel!

[Frank Burrows]

It really amazes me that there is no noticeable public reaction to these 
increased prices. There are obviously a lot of actions that could be taken. 
If you are a conservative like me then you would want to authorize offshore 
drilling and Alaska exploration as well as incentives for the oil companies 
to build more refineries. Lots of nuclear power.

I guess if you are a liberal or environmentalist then you want to ban big 
vehicles, everybody drive a little Prius, lots more windmills, more mass 
transportation, sailboats, bicycles and no growth policies.

I don't mean this as a political post but neither side seems upset at the 
current prices and we all know this is not the end of the price hikes. 
There is no crisis that caused these prices. There is no marching in the 
street. This does not seem to be a big campaign issue. The American public 
just seems to accept this as inevitable and irresolvable.
