We have numerous refineries in our backyards here in LA LA land and we have the highest gas prices in the country. Of course, that may just be a price-fixing ploy by the oil companies to maximize profit in a large market.
And this is at the heart of the matter. The enviros have stopped not only oil refineries, but nuclear plants, new coal refinery processes and natural gas exploration. The Pubs have done a horrid job showing the public these facts. It is time probably for the Prez to do it since he is the only brave Pub we seem to have to take on any tough issues. If Hastert does put ANWR through on a budget process, so what? It is constitutional as was the Prez' interim appointment of Bolton. Just do it. And then start the processes for initiating the above agendas.
