To put things in perspective....

The Democrats have controlled the U.S. Senate and House for two years.
A new Speaker of the House was appointed 'Nancy Pelosi', to preside over the House and hand-select what bills would come before Congress.

There hasn't been one bill reviewed or voted upon, pertaining to
a long-term energy plan, or control of gasoline/oil supplies.
They had control and havent taken one step closer to solving any of these problems ! They don't have a clue. FYI... At the time Speaker Pelosi took office two years ago, the price of gas was $2.25 a gallon. In less than two years the price has almost doubled! What does this tell us.......

There also hasn't been any new oil refineries built in this country for over 40 years, up until recently. Even if we had all the oil we wanted, we don't have the means to process it. Blame the oil companies for that. Bad planning and foresight on their part, shame on them!

Had this country taken a long-term approach and developed an energy plan back in the 80;s (maybe it was he 70's ?), when we were gas rationing
and got a wake-up call, we probably wouldn't be in our current situation.
