This is the same Congress that refuses to allow drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which holds up to 20 billion barrels of crude, or offshore, where another 30 billion await.

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

Oil exploration was blocked by almost all rats and a few Rinos. The rats march in lock step against energy development except for the alternatives they prefer. They are leading us into an energy nightmare. In 10 years, we will have shortages of peak power, dramatic movement of industries to other countries, and much higher fuel costs. I cannot understand how the average individual complains about fuel and energy costs but votes for rats.

over the last 50 years or so, how oftet have the repubs had the house/senate. The dems??

Also, the dems have the media in theirt pocket.

So, to lay it on the feet of the republicans and the fact that they had both houses a few years ago and that is why we are not drilling in anwr is stretching it a bit.

When you paint with a wide brush, remember that the Rats only need 2-3 RHINOs to stop the drilling.

“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 your point is?

Do you think a higher percentage of Democrts or Republicans has consistently voted for more American energy production.

A large majority of republicans, joined by a few Democrats, has been trying for 20 years to increase 1) American hydrocarbon development. 2) Increased licensure of Nuclear plants. 3) Increased use of Clean coal. 4) Licensing of new refineries.

Senate ahd house voting records are public information. Google These votes.

Even here, 14 for drilling; 15 against. Even distribution within each party or did one party obstruct.

14 Dems against drilling and 14 Pubs for it. Pretty consistent over the years.

Some Republicans will be RINOs.
