WASHINGTON, Aug 04, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ —
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on Democratic proposals to bring relief to Americans at the pump: “Democrats offered a real solution to high energy prices that would bring immediate relief within 10 days by forcing the President to free our oil from the nation’s stockpile. The Republicans propose to give away public lands to Big Oil, which will not immediately reduce the price at the pump and save Americans only 2 cents 10 years from now. This Republican hoax is unworthy of the serious debate we must have to reduce the price at the pump and promote energy independence.
“House Republicans have opposed forcing oil companies to drill on the 68 million acres they already control, new investments in renewable energy, increasing vehicle fuel efficiency standards, making mass transit more affordable, cracking down on price gouging, and releasing oil from the government’s stockpile. When it comes to energy policy, Republicans are once again promoting the interests of Big Oil and the Bush Administration that has resulted in $4 a gallon of gasoline.
Un-F'ing believable....and when the oil released from the reserves runs out, then what...prices go back up. We do not need short term scams, Nancy....WE WANT A LOG TERM SOLUTION!!!
DRILL HERE/DRILL NOW/BUILD AND EXPAND REFINERIES
OOPS....BAD FINGERS...LOG TERM = LONG TERM.
