Environmentalists and liberals have made sure no new refineries are being built.

They also have caused large oil corporations to move their primary operations overseas resulting in less jobs here.

They also seek to claim American lands for environmentalist control. By the way, a lot of that control is by other nations due to agreements made tying use of American land to environmental agencies which are not run by Americans but by foreign persons.

Can you possibly see an environmentalist threat to the use of American land by Americans? Could they possibly limit American growth and power? Seems to me that the whole purpose of environmental groups IS TO CONTROL AMERICA'S USE OF AMERICA'S OWN LANDS AND PUT THE CONTROL INTO THE HAND OF ULTRA LEFTWING ORGANIZATIONS.

(Of course I expect to be called stupid).

The old Pennzoil organization wanted to build a 200,000 bbl/day refinery in Arizona. The Greens didn't stop it. Chevron did.

Not at all. You're not stupid. In fact, you show remarkable insight. FOXNEWS did an hour special just prior to the 2000 election on this exact subject. "Who Really Owns America?" was the title, IIRC.

If the Envirowackos Truuuuuuuuuuuuuuuly were concerned about the environment, they would renounce and disown their cars/trucks/SUVs , quit there jobs, won't use products made out of plastics.
The leftist, libs, envirowackos TRUE agenda is to make America weak, and Americas businesses weak.
There agenda is to destroy the traditional family, THE AMERICAN WAY, destroy our military and make the USA a 3rd rate power in the world, and they would have no problem with having Russia or China becoming the New Super Power in the world.
Come on PEOPLE !!!! that is what the lib/dems/envirowackos TRUE agenda is, and we need to stop them, and make sure they are out of power for good.
