This is a great idea. Let's see if we become more dependent on foreign oil so that we can get involved in even more oil wars.

would fund research for renewable energy sources

Did we awaken in a new universe on 18 Jan 2007? The Dept of Energy was created in response to the Arab oil embargo and began research into alternative energy sources. They also got management of the country's nukes. Initial funding was $5 billion a year. Are we just starting now after 34 years like we are just starting a moon landing program 34 years after the country already did that? What has been going on for the past 34 years besides Leftist dithering with our national resources?

Since they have already done that, what should happen now is that no more raises for Congress until the energy crisis is over. In fact, cut their salary by 10% for every year the crisis goes on. Cut it another 10% for every million barrels of oil we have to import. Cut it another 10% for every year they don't allow more drilling in the US. Since they live for money, hit them where it hurts.

We already have a reliable alternative energy supply, if the paranoid liberal dims would get their half witted @$$e$ out of the way. "Nuclear."

If the House is aiming at big oil---,who they will hit will be Joe Consumer.

The big oil companies will pass on the loss to Joe Consumer: Then the House Demorats will take this tax,because that is really what it is, and they will pass it out to their Green Friends who pay lip service to alternative fuels and always come up with squat.

Just more theft from San Fran Nan.

What really hurts is that liberals are too stupid to see thru this crap, and many conservatives stayed home and let this happen.

Passage of the bill by a vote of 264-163 capped House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record)'s 100-hour agenda, which also included measures to raise the minimum wage, lower student loan interest rates and bolster homeland security.

Look at the vote count, people. The Dems do not have a 101 vote majority in the House.

This is a bi-partisan ripoff.

force energy companies to pay more drilling royalties

Want oil companies to pay more royalties? Easy, just let them do more drilling.

Pelosi obviously attended the Al Gore school of political timing.

Not Fuel prices up... just more fuel coming from overseas.

Why buy from American Fuel companies that cost more?

And this is the bill to reduce dependence on foreign sources of oil?

The irony... (and stupidity of democrats and American people who don't care to know better)

The $14 billion raised from the additional royalties and repealed tax breaks would fund research for renewable energy sources

The big buck payoffs begin. Every cent of the $14 billion will be wasted on stupid politically motivated "research."

Lol first they blame the Bush admin for high oil prices, then when the prices start falling, they are doing everythign they can to make oil companies raise the prices again? BRILLIANT! I can't beleive these bums got voted into office- the money will NOT go to the public- it will go to congress. The democreeps accuse big oil of getting rich off other people the easy way- YET the demoturds do exactyl what they accuse 'big oil' of- lining their pockets at the expense of the oil companies who are doing all the expensive work of research, developement, exploration etc.
