“What is the cost of the Democrat “No Domestic Energy Policy?”
No domestic drilling.
No new refineries.
No new nuke plants.
No new dams for hydro-electric.
No coal.
No shale.
Deplete the SPR.
Let Iran get nukes.
Let Iraq fall to Iranian domination.
No Canadian tar sands oil.”

And all while China and India publicly tell the world they aren’t falling for the global warming hoax, will continue to use petroleum, and aren’t willing to sacrifice their young for alternatives that aren’t practical for large scale use.

We don’t want to use oil anymore? Fine.....China and India will use it.

How about we press for congress to let the oil companies drill in places like ANWAR and off-shore AND stop the speculators from buying oil that they don’t actually take possession of and use or sell right away but rather hold (all on paper) driving up prices of futures? This accounts for a large part of the price increase of oil even with real supply and real demand fluctuations. Worldwide demand relative to supply did not triple over the last 6 years.

Bingo! The oil is there - and in my opinion the government estimates are conservative...
