How about some tax credits to build more refineries.
I don't understand Congress and they are leading us into a catastrophe on the basis of environmental religion.
They won’t allow drilling but will allow gas prices to go up and out of site to keep the American people under their thumbs. All incumbents need to be recalled and run out of office. It’s our oil, our land and the people can do what they want with it.
The only excuse I can see for this for this
is that the USA reserves are being kept
in strategic reserve, until other countries
use up their deposits
otherwise the current course
smells treasonous

Even if the oil shortage is not eased by our drilling in the USA and off shore, at least our money stays home. And more jobs...
Impeach Congress!
Destroying America one day at a time.
From the same crowd that wants to take food out of peoples mouth and put it in your gas tank (that’s working out real well too).
And at the same time favoring windmills and solar in preference to nuclear, where the technology is known, proven, and the fuel readily available - left over from the cold war (we are spending huge amounts of money to store it).
At this point in time if some company decided to ‘illegally’ drill for oil or turn shale into oil then I would be hard pressed to not join up with other citizens and stand outside, armed, to make sure the production continued unhindered.
That’s how desperately we need off foreign oil.
The freakishly far left whines that it will take some 10+ years to realize any benefit from new domestic production. But they crow about fanciful “alternative fuels” that will take at least 10+ years if ever we can harness sunbeams and fairy dust. If Republicans were to make hay about democrat resistance to domestic production - most folks have no idea that there is so much available oil in this country, the watermelons might be out on their ears.
Damned Democrats. Why isn’t this in the MSM? They are keeping us locked into high prices because of some damned endangered species they’re afraid of hurting.
Anyone have a roll call on the Dems who voted against it?
WE had a republican president and a republican senate and republican house a few years ago and this problem didn't get solved either. - Tom
And what a pity it is that our sitting president is so inarticulate that he cannot, even with all the facts currently available, and the price of energy and food, he still cannot effectively articulate the part the Democrats and environment extremists have played in causing the current problems.
There is a gold mine of material, but seemingly no one to make use of it to the Republicans and the nation’s advantage.
for reference — thanks for the post
Here is the event that set the sixties era environmental extremists on their current course, one oil spill from an offshore rig and they’ve been stark raving mad ever since, making their contribution to our energy problems while gaining great influence inside the Democrat party:
Oil shale development moratorium? When did this happen? I knew that the Dems were blocking ANWR and offshore development, but I hadn't heard that they were blocking shale development.
If you like $4/gal, Thank Congress!
