As world wide oil prices double and no one in government seems willing or able to help in this election year, I offer two solutions to help drop at least gas prices in the U.S.  One solution would be the obvious one, which is to drill in ANWAR in Alaska and off the coast in the Carolinas and Gulf Coast.  This would offer within a few years enough oil to take care of ourselves without worrying about buying oil from Arabs and that idiot Chavez.  This oil would last us until we could perfect new technologies like hydrogen and ethanol.  The other solution would be gas from coal.  We have the technology to take coal and turn it into gasoline.  In my home state of West Virginia alone we have enough coal to supply the country for 300 years.  You may ask why we as a nation don't use either one of these resources.  The answer is liberal environmental wackos.  I believe in both taking care of and protecting the environment and I believe that we can do that and have our fuel.  The liberal democrats and their special interest groups will hold congressional hearings and shake their fingers at oil execs and make big speeches about big oil and CNN and Fox will be right there to show the highlights except when the oil companies offer these alternatives then the cameras are off and no one hears about it.  Aftere all their speeches one democrat from Michigan even suggested that the federal government raise the gas tax by 50 cents a gallon.  Everyone is concerned about global warming, well responsible scientists are starting to point out that the earth is actually cooling down now, maybe the threat was real and now is over or maybe GOD KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING WHEN HE CREATED THE EARTH!  I personally am hoping that maybe our home state will come to their senses and build coal gasoline refineries in the state ( This could also help with unemployment problems in the state) and maybe even a bio-diesel plant to help out truckers.  I wonder if the democrats really want to have a bad recession and if gas and diesel prices don't come down then we will have a bad one soon.  Come November when you go to vote and stop and pay $4.00 for gas remember to thank a democrat and send them back home and out of state houses and congress.  If not, you can begin to kiss our nation's security and economy and YOUR JOB goodbye.
