1) If I remember my science correctly, plants also produce CO2 at night during the light independant stage of photosynthesis.

2) The president tried to use the land available of the newly closed military bases to have refineries built but that idea was shot down by the enviromentalists.

3) The cost to produce a gallon of gas or Jet A hasn't changed. But the twits on Wall Street keep using speculation to drive up the price of oil thats why the oil company's profits have increases so much.

4) Anyone who thinks taxing the oil companies is the answer doesn't realize that in the end we'll eat that tax too. Does anyone really think the oil companies are paying .50 a gallon in taxes or is it the consumer?
