Maybe the Senate should pass a useful energy program. Drill ANWR, start building nuclear power plants again, start building more refineries, distributed in more locations, reduce regulatory rules that make it hard to build power plants, upgrade the electric power grids.
Much of this can be done simply by changing the regulatory climate, making it once more profitable for businesses to operate in these areas.
But you know damned well what they'll do, instead. Spend six months investigating Exxon because they gave their retiring chief too much money.
I have no idea why Bush doesn't get in front of the nation via a nation address and call the Senate into action addressing the energy issues this nation faces.
Congress and especially the Senate has literally sat on their asses letting the energy problem grow more and more dangerous using it as a political tool against Bush.
Frist needs to resign and Mitch McConnell needs to take over. Mitch will kick some ass.
Add to that a single formulation of gasoline that works for the entire country.
