Here is the video interview on Mad Money with Congressman John Peterson, who introduced the bill
A guy who works for an oil company said that since ANWR is so close to the pipeline in Alaska that’s already built, we could easily add the ANWR oil to the market in less than three years.
In the meantime, we can supplement with NUKE power.
It’s a good thing some of us either voted Democrat or didn’t vote at all back in 2006. That ought to teach the Republicans a lesson!
Ping.
And people are getting killed
Today Dems rejected a plan to open US waters to drilling>
Gateway Pundit says:
Oil Prices Soared Today As Inventories Dropped–
Do you think the Democratic plan of raising taxes on oil companies will help?
How about the Democratic plan to sue OPEC over gas prices?… Do you think that will help increase inventories?
Yeah! Raise taxes! That will make more oil! Sue OPEC! They’ll listen to a court!
How about we just, finally, allow Americans to have access to their own oil and oil shale deposits?
Gateway’s helpful chart on Democrat and GOP energy plans:
Had enough, yet?
Yes, it’s absolutely true: if we started drilling today, it would take years to get the oil refined and into the market…we should have started 30 years ago...
As Atlas Shrugs likes to say, "Read the whole thing" at the link-- the Anchoress is quite a good writer.
The RATS won’t give any kind of ‘victory’ to Pres Bush or to the Republican Party, especially during an election yar..The House and Senate DimocRATS have acted in the most disgraceful behavior since the Vietnam era...Their anti-war, anti-American sentiment has worn American’s patience to a thin edge and we hope they are all booted out in Nov ‘08 along with their cowardly, know nothing pres candidate..
What they are doing is affecting the rest of the world along with the USA..Gas prices are through the roof because OPEC and foreign countries control the price of oil..Every country in the world is paying higher prices and many countries are suffering as a result..This could result in a world wide depression...So much for the RATS caring for the poor and the impoverished..Their first and only care is for their backside...
I just don’t understand how the dems can pick up more seats after this. I can’t believe my fellow Americans are that ignorant.
DRILL and REFINE....NOW!
