The fact that they're holding tens of thousands of permits they're not drilling now, or the fact that they refuse to crank their refineries up to capacity? Keeping folks like you snowed is how they make their money. How in the world can they keep the price at $140/barrel if they increase supply?! Just wait and see how fast that <a href="http://www.democracyforvancouver.org/2008/06/19/big-oil-strikes-it-rich-in-iraq/" rel="nofollow">Iraqi</a> oil comes on the market - something tells me those Iraqi facilities are going to need years, and maybe <em>decades</em>, of upgrades before they can come online. Just like all those ENRON generating facilities in California were shut down for maintenance during the rolling blackouts. Maintenance .... riiiiiiiight. We're all <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/06/01/eveningnews/main620626.shtml" rel="nofollow">Grandma Millie</a> now. But, by all means, keep bending over - Exxon and BP and Shell and Chevron need to do something to keep busy (since they're not drilling...for oil). And it's hard to vote against your own interests when you've got your hands around your ankles. So, Kudzu, what makes you think that the oil companies want to drill more?

Pay less. People who opposing drilling are Marxists who hate capitalism in general and the US in particular. If you are an American, they hate you and they they hate your job. Drill here. drill now.
