He says we have a gigantic supply in Alaska but environmentalists keep blocking us from drilling.

He also said we're using Russian oil right now, which is a half a cent cheaper, and it smells like rotten eggs because they dont refine it well.

I just filled half a tank on my car, just an mid sized car, and it was $40. I couldnt believe it.
Thats not why gas is so expensive. its because the dollar is in the crapper and oil is traded in dollars. Also its not like they drill the oil up in alaska and it just goes to america. It goes on the open market to the highest bidder.
