Anyone care to guess whether they will go on summer break with NO ACTION on energy independence bill?
If they do go with no action which is the most likely scenario, it will certainly underscore Pelosi, Reid and the entire Congress' thumbing their nose, once again, against the wishes of a growing majority in this country....any poll taken in recent weeks is minimally at 70% or better for action to be taken.....now.
The gathering majority includes the folks in the states bordering areas to be drilled in....contrary to the past they too are in that majority.
Remember it is not just drilling...it is all the actions proposed.
A point of interest, for the first time I heard a good response to the Dem's ongoing grind of why aren't the big oil companies that already have leases in the infamous 60,000,000 acres.....drilling yet.
The point is other oil companies that DO NOT have leases in the alleged area. They are ready to go as soon as the coastal drilling is approved. And many of them are already operating in those areas and are close to and ready begin.
All we get to hear about is the big guys....who are not motivated to increase supply......and whether one agrees with additional drilling or not...there is one simple fact that cannot be ignored....None of the non oil based alternatives are short term solutions. During their gestation, oil consumption will only continue to increase. The supply and capacity must be increased or today's unpopular pricing will be yesterday's good news in the near future.
Write your representatives and tell them to pass an energy bill before they go on their next junket!!!
