I just got a heads up from a source that says by tomorrow morning the gas prices will be nearly five dollars. FIVE DOLLARS!!! Let me take you back to the last time our nation faced gas prices that high, Katrina. For Americans these raising gas prices don't just hit us in the pocket, they should hit us in the political side of our brains. The chart shows the fluctuation of gas prices over the past 10 days. The "energy crisis" that our nation has been facing for decades needs more than just a nod from politicians. This is much more than a crisis, it's an epidemic. Offshore drilling is not the answer, it's not even the short term answer. If we put up hundreds more oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, how high do you think gas prices will shoot up next year when Hurricane Annie or Brandon tear them all down? Addiction can't be solved with more of the drug, we need out. I think I've written about Pickens Plan, an energy plan focused on wind energy, hell, anything is a better idea than setting ourselves up for failure. If you don't agree with me today, let's see how high gas prices are tomorrow, if I'm right, at least do our country the courtesy of voting for a candidate with an energy plan worth standing on.
