NASDAQ -- (IBTimes) - The now-familiar call for Washington to lower energy costs by increasing domestic production of oil may not be the most effective policy, according to this month's Congressional Budget Office report on the nation's energy security.

"Policies that promoted greater production of oil in the United States would probably not protect U.S. consumers from sudden worldwide increases in oil prices stemming from supply disruptions elsewhere in the world, even if increased production lowered the world price of oil on an ongoing basis," said the report, which outlines possible policy solutions to help insulate U.S. consumers from energy and fuel price fluctuations resulting from global oil supply disruptions,

Ever since Odumba "discussed" the cost of the "healthcare" bill with their director (and caused them to re-do their numbers in his favor), I don't trust them at all...not that they could be trusted much to begin with. Everything the CBO has calculated over the years has been WAY off!

tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:33,043 Points:2,346,485 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: May 13, 2012 3:45:45 AM Ignore tomok Report Abuse US domestic oil production will not lower high energy or fuel prices when Big Oil continues to sell fuel and natural gas on the world market for higher prices, there will be NO price reduction for the cost of fuel or natural gas IN the US. Barry will support natural gas and oil production for sale on the world market to pay for his ‘spending gone wild’ addiction and receive the huge federal tax income for oil. Barry's economy is not improving but continues to hurt the population. The US ‘oil and natural gas resources’ belong to the citizens of this country and are to be used by those same citizens! Speculators, manipulators and the banks continue to unfairly and unjustly make the driving public pay higher prices at the pump for their benefit. Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle, Produce and ‘Drive’ vehicles with high MPG, are very reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. Consider using other forms of less expensive transportation to lower your cost, if possible! The price of fuel at the pump is too high! 12/22/2012!
