It seems to me that congress should have stated acting on this pronto, but partisan politics in the Senate is keeping us under the thumbs of the Arab Royals and having to tip toe around them to keep the oil flowing.
We need immediate action for the good of the nation from our representatives, not politics! My God, you would think they would KNOW this!
It is all about money and power though, not the good of the country.
That's exactly right, dear lady.
What puzzles me when this subject is broached is the passing attention to natural gas as if it's not important.
It is, in fact, the only thing that IS important!
We have enough natural gas deposits on the North American continent to be completely independent of foreign sources of energy.
We need to shift the focus from oil to natural gas.
There has been no widespread effort to advertise the advantages of natural gas, and it doesn't have public recognition as THE alternative energy supply.
I guess if the public weren't innundated with pictures on TV of government vehicles blowing up as the result of natural gas explosions, there would be more acceptance.
Sarcasm off.
