Democrats give american people the finger

http://thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire/67...-rejects-gop-bill-to-expand-offshore-drilling


The Senate on Wednesday rejected Republican-backed legislation intended to speed up and expand offshore oil and gas drilling.
In a 42-57 vote, the Senate failed to move forward with the bill, which was opposed by the White House and most Senate Democrats. Republicans needed 60 votes for the measure to proceed.
Every Senate Democrat voted against the motion to proceed.



so, in short, **** the american people, who cares about out of control gas prices, the Dems care more about the enviro wack jobs than the average american citizen

If every area that the oil companies wanted opened up was opened up today and drilled to maximum ability, it would only lower the price of gas by 4 cents a gallon, in seven years time. Opposed to that is the risk of off shore drilling in those areas, ala the Gulf of Mexico mess. Not every American thinks we should open up all areas to drilling because of that. So once again, you are posting ignorant crap.

 

[Twin Fist]

anything other than your say so on that?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

There's no need to open more area for drilling. There are huge backlogs of oil already waiting to be refined, and huge stockpiles of already refined gas sitting in tanks. In short, we've got a glut of oil and gas here now. No shortage.

Just greed and speculators driving the prices up, because they can.

 

[Twin Fist]

ok, so take petro off the commodities market, OR, make the speculators put up 75%

 

[LuckyKBoxer]

or how about creating one single standard nationwide so we dont have dozens of different standards that are a pain in the *** to fine tune.
maybe even build a new refinery or two.
I am convinced that our government is not opening up the drilling because they plan on waiting for everyoen else to run out before we open ours up and sell it to the rest of the world for megabucks LOL

Build more refineries....build different refineries so we can make usable fuel from the more sulphuric oils instead of relying on "sweet bonnie crude".

And build some more nukes while you're at it! We have at least 20 CPs that have already been approved!

Actually, you are 100% correct. Few know it, but that IS official policy going back over 20 years.

after the japanese plant meltdown, they bunny huggers here will NEVER let another nuke plant be buildt in america

There's no profit in building more refineries. The ones we have rarely run full tilt, there's always unused production capacity.

As to nukes, TF's got it right. Despite it being safe, the FUD runs wild on that one.

Nuclear is good if we can fugure out what to.do with yhe waste.

The Construction Permits are already in approved. Approved CP = roll the trucks and build the sucka.

Breeder reactors are a start...but that would go along with building more nukes. We don't have any in operation here.

You can thank the Obama administration for **** canning that question.

I've never really bought this argument. Here is a quick piece on the subject.

if it is really just speculators, then couldnt the government declare gasoline a national resource and take it off the commodities market?
