Hanson sums it up very well.
~snip~
And why are Republicans, who voted in overwhelming numbers for off-shore drilling, ANWR, nuclear, shale, tar sands, liquid coal, etc—and were opposed by Democrats on grounds of wanting to enrich energy companies—not appealing to the country to develop domestic supplies on the basis of fairness ..

With Juan McAmnesty leading the GOP, why would you expect anything different? The GOP = Rat.
The Conservative movement has itself trapped in a negative feedback loop. They are so upset with the GOP these days they refuse to say anything at all positive about the GOP (aka the GOP lead filibuster of the Cap and Trade bill, the Republican Energy plan) because saying anything positive is seen as “carrying the GOPs water” so they do nothing but bitch which allows the Democrats to control the media template. Since Democrats control the spin, things get worse causing the Conservative talking heads to bitch more which gives the Democrat more control of the spin.
Conservative better get their heads out of their butts pretty soon and start fighting FOR things instead of being knee jerk against everything or they are going to find themselves looking at a 60 Seat Democrat Senate
It’s beyond belief- the GOP could make some serious gains here by taking the initiative on energy...but...they just get into shouting contests with the Dems.
90% of votes for more US Energy production were from the GOP, 87% against from Democrats.
YEAH, there are a lot of differences between the 2 parties if people would actually pay attention to what is going on in DC instead of just bitching.
Who In The Hell Is Responsible For $5 Gas?/Placing The Blame For High Gas Prices
Mitch McConnell for President
This Hansen is beginning to be irrelevant. Is he on Sanka now?
I just read that- and my blood pressure is rising by the minute.
oh please enlighten us (and not about the de-caf)
Have you read ‘The Prize’?
no
The UN is holding conference about rising food prices because the US is the top grower of corn and soybeans and the 3rd ranked grower of oats and wheat in the world. Data from 2005. The UN sees America as the problem and not the granary to the world.
Now contrast the UN's fervor to hold conferences to solve the food crisis and not a peep about the "oil crisis".
Check it out. Takes the oil industry from beginning through a few years ago.
I see it was written in 1993. I know oil was about $10/ bl in 1999 and it’s $138 now. As a first guess, I wouldn’t think the book has all the answers.
ROFL, in case you forgot, the GOP had a Congressional majority for a decade about 2 years ago. They did NOTHING ... which is why they lost.
It has a lot. You will recognize many if not all of the problems now have been problems all along.
“GOP bad, Democrats good”
Seem Conservative are not going to be happy until they whine themselves into a 60 seat Democrat Senate.
It's leftism-lite, with no taste and half the calories.
If the Republicans don't hammer the DemocRATS for the oil situation, they deserve to lose — again — in November.
Guess it's going to have to hit rock-bottom before right-minded people rebuild the country again.
Effing liberals.
