“NOTE: These are NOT the GOP House members who have planted their energy flag in the ‘vacationing’ Congress floor … THESE are the same Senators who ALWAYS run around trying to get the democrats to let them sit at their lunch table … and NOW they are screwing-over the GOP House members.”

Thanks for the article. WOW. These guys are morons.

...."That’s because the plan is a Democratic giveaway. New production on offshore federal lands is left to state legislatures, and then in only four coastal states. The regulatory hurdles are huge. And the bill bars drilling within 50 miles of the coast — putting off limits some of the most productive areas. Alaska’s oil-rich Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is still a no-go.

The highlight is instead $84 billion in tax credits, subsidies and federal handouts for alternative fuels and renewables. The Gang of 10 intends to pay for all this in part by raising taxes on . . . oil companies! The Sierra Club couldn’t have penned it better. And so the Republican Five has potentially given antidrilling Democrats the political cover they need to neutralize energy through November."
