Beam me to Planet Gore !
Sessions, a member of the Senate’s Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, went a step further. He cited sources that suggest the increase could be as much as $5 a gallon.
“[L]et me tell you what’s heading down the tracks,” Sessions said to BMI on May 14. “In a few weeks, we expect that the cap-and-trade legislation that’s been voted out of Sen. Barbara Boxer’s (D-Calif.) Environment and Public Works Committee will be on the floor and according to the Environmental Protection Agency it will increase gas prices by $1.50. The National Association of Manufacturers says it will increase it as much as $5 per gallon.”

Lieberman-Warner, McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, that ‘post-partisanship’ reachin’ ‘cross the aisle is a real arse-kicker sometimes..
It’s gonna be a long hot summer..

“Certain possibility”? Is that anything like maybe a sure thing?
If gas hits $8.00/$9.00 a gallon this summer, there will be a revolt. Big time.
Inhofe is alone, nearly alone. The American voters elected all these representatives and apparently instructed them to save the planet at any cost. It was over in 2006.

“The Democrats are the reason we have high prices at the pumps, and we’re not going to be able to alleviate that until we start producing again in America,” Inhofe added. “And I knew this was happening way back, well 10 years ago, when President Clinton vetoed the bill that would have allowed us to drill in ANWR. I said on the Senate floor that day 10 years ago that in 10 years we would regret this. It’s now 10 years later.”
Truer words were never uttered. We have it within our grasp to become independent of foreign oil within the next 15 years or so, if we can shut up the enviro-nuts, the tree huggers and the liberal idiots who place a higher value on snail darters than on the secure future of this grand experiment.
I’m so sick of the PC, multi-culti, enviro-whackos that I’m about to hurl.
Senators, ya mean the blowhards? Vote the bums out.
OK then. What about after 1973? 1979? SUVs? The Electric Car’s disappearance...with ownership of the patents and technologies bought by Texaco? Bigger and bigger everything?
DC, and many of us, haven’t taken this issue seriously for a long time. Also, we have failed to take notice of increases in demand from Asia and other countries.
It may well be that big oil is gushing money, but there are other forces in play, too.
“(blast massive costs of GW legislation)”
To be fair, McCain has adopted this GOP policy also.
...and so the union dies.
We are watching a once-great freedom-loving Republic destroy itself from within, and apparantly not enough people know it or care about it to stop it.
Not just high gas prices.
Next high food, clothing...prices.
Remember the Jimmy Carter gas lines ?
There is not much point in discussing the cons of Cap-and-Trade or any other anti GW measures. They were all effectively mandated in law when Bush agreed to list the polar bear as an “endangered species.” Installing the entire panoply of GW laws and rules was the whole point of listing the polar bears. It now does not even matter that polar ice is expanding and is at record levels.The law establishing protection for endangered species now mandates that everything be done to “protect” polar bears and their habitat. After a couple of trips through the courts we may well live in an economy totally dedicated to “fighting” global warming. That one little bureaucratic measure has the potential to do to the economy what the Declaration of War after Pearl Harbor did- put it totally under the direction of the government for the purpose of accomplishing the national purpose, which now is to Fight Global Warming.
Picture this, gas shoots up to $8-$10 dollars a gallon. Certain inner city groups begin rioting, looting/burning gas stations, seizing tanker trunks and distributing gas etc. Presisent Obama (or McCain) blames the greedy oil companies for the high prices. Solution? Let pull a Chavez and nationalize all facets of the oil industry...
Don't laugh, they want to do it with the health care industry, why not the oil industry as well
I will be so glad when that old coot (John Warner) retires from the Senate. Of course, there’s a 2nd Warner just salivating over his seat. A younger, democrat version.
Why is it so hard for other Republicans to say this? Why?
Term limits for both houses of congress would solve many problems......
