The Democratic initiative will also seek to release oil from the 700 million barrel Strategic Petroleum Reserve, require oil companies to pay billions of dollars Democrats believe they owe to invest in clean energy resources, increase the use natural gas and create a federal Renewable Electricity Standard.

This is all a bunch of smoke and mirrors and I'm glad the House GOP had the foresight to see it as such. Releasing oil from the SPR will only provide relief for about two weeks and we'll be right back where we are now. Forcing oil companies to pay more taxes will only go to the Dems' enviro-wacko special-interest groups, and besides both the federal government and the oil companies are already spending millions in clean energy. And a Renewable Electricity Standard? More federal government bureaucracy.

The RINOs in the Senate have got to come to their senses or else the party is doomed in November.

Ah! But,,, if the dems release the oil two weeks before election day,,, and the sheeple see the price falling,,,,they’ll vote for the dems..Who cares what happens after election day? As long as they’ve won, who cares?
