The liberal Dems are so screwed up, when it comes to energy policy. They look like the abosolute socialist FOOLS that they are. And they don't want ANYONE to look good relative to energy sourcing, either.
So AHWR NEVER GETS BROUGHT UP. We should be drilling and pumping there now...but the Dems block ANY COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY PLAN that would give the U.S. far better energy independence, and ability to negotiate with OPEC.
cant we just flog the envirowackos and send them to iran?
A good deal of high oil prices is due to competition from other countries like China, whose economy is booming.
