No. This is time to ask the Congress why they have not planned for this circumstance. This is the same as Katrina but the blame is firmly on the Congress. There has been so much pandering to Kyoto and the environmentalists that Congress has abdicated their responsibility.
Their solution will most likely be to tax the oil companies, which will be paid by us, the constituents.

This is no different than how they screwed up Social Security, while exempting themselves from the program.

We need to demand that Congress comes up with a solution without punishing us!!! How about Anwar, refineries, nuclear power, offshore drilling and oil shale for starters? The solutions are there. They need to know that we know where the problem is. CONGRESS.
