Tell them not to bother since we have all that CA oil from our federal waters off the Pacific coast....yes, that's wishful thinking since the energy hogs on our west coast don't contribute a drop of the oil they use on their long daily commutes. When 50% of our gasoline is affected by a Gulf coast hurricane, one wonders what in the world this country is thinking when it concentrates our energy dependence in this precarious area of our coast line. I think after 60 years, our government could have come up with a better idea. If there is a shortage, the first strict rationing should be in CA, WA, and OR. Let those smart leftists and environazis do without gas and open airports for awhile. They might get some sense.
