Will Bush's request from Congress to lift the ban on offshore drilling work?

Well if it's actually approved,yes.

The democrats are pushing the blame on Bush for high oil prices,yet Bush has been finding solutions that they don't pass.

We can be an energy independent nation but we need smart policies.The policies are on the table but Harry Reid and his liberal buddies are too busy putting in earmarks for projects that benefit themselves.

in certainty oil expenses is actual not bothered by US offshore drilling. Oil expenses are desperate by worldwide grant and insist. the U. S. does not have super sufficient oil supplies to surprisingly effect worldwide grant. the U. S. produces in simple terms a small fraction of the excellent worldwide grant. The insignificant develop human beings oil production from greater offshore exploration could come some years from now and have no substantial effect on expenses. on the different hand, the U. S. consumes an exceedingly super share of the excellent worldwide grant of oil. shall we've an exceedingly substantial effect on oil expenses by lowering oil intake by using conservation and bigger use of renewable power sources. in certainty the clarification for the present decline in oil expenses is the decline in call for that replaced into led to by the charges being so severe. The Republican claims of instant value declines as a results of a develop on a ban human beings offshore oil drilling is complete nonsense meant to deceive people who do not know greater powerful. yet another actuality is that oil is a finite source. desperate tries to pump it out of the floor and burn it ASAP won't resolve any issues, however the damages to the atmosphere reason very genuine long term issues. Please examine the sources under. Please be at liberty to do your man or woman learn how to confirm what's genuine.

It would at least help some. The Democrats only plan is to institute an additional massive tax on the US oil companies. Gee I wonder what that will do to the price of gasoline?

The root of the problem is supply & demand. When there is not enough supply, the price increases. The most obvious solution is to ease restrictions on oil production.

(The reason they are not drilling in most of the alotted areas is because there is nothing there to drill for).

probably not, but it should. In fact we should have been doing this all along, in conjunction with exploring alternative sources of energy. Now, even if we start drilling tonight, we won't see anything for at least 3 years. So this is too little too late for me.

The democrats think this global warming is man made, I believe the earth is in a cycle and it was going to happen weather we were here or not. But the people in power believe this, so now we're going to have to pay for it. Where were the republicans when they were in power? No foresight huh?

I'm disgusted!!

If you mean will his request work, I don't know. If you mean will offshore drilling work, then yes. Once the commodities market sees that America is serious about drilling for more oil the price will drop precipitously as the speculators run for cover.

Yes it will work it will so that the Democrats are not serious about lowering prices at the pump.

Unfortunatley, no. And we, the people, suffer for it. Democrat controlled congress, they're not willing to waste this opportunity to play politics with oil. Let your congressmen know that you have an opinion on this, and that we should be drilling offshore and in Alaska.

Anything Bush requests from our liberal congress will be denied. Nancy Pelosi would never do anything for the benefit of U.S. citizens and her followers will stand behind her.

Anything George Bush wants to do needs to immediately be blocked by congress.

No, it's a stupid plan. It's just political theater calculated to make the democrats look like they don't care. They care enough to call out the BS when they hear it. And nothing reeks of the BS more than this idiotic drilling idea.
