Offshore drilling for oil
Looks like we won't be seeing any more offshore drilling any time soon.

Straight party line vote. Which party do you think wanted to lift restrictions and possibly do something about rising oil prices???

Quote:
GOP Rep. John Peterson’s latest bid to lift domestic offshore drilling restrictions, which I blogged earlier today here, was killed this afternoon by the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior and the Environment. It was a straight, party line vote.

Dems against:

Chair: Norman D. Dicks (WA)
James P. Moran (VA)
Maurice D. Hinchey (NY)
John W. Olver (MA)
Alan B. Mollohan (WV)
Tom Udall (NM)
Ben Chandler (KY)
Ed Pastor (AZ)
Dave Obey (WI), Ex Officio

Republicans for:

Ranking Member:
Todd Tiahrt (KS)
John E. Peterson (PA)
Jo Ann Emerson (MO)
Virgil H. Goode, Jr. (VA)
Ken Calvert (CA)
Jerry Lewis (CA), Ex Officio
meanwhile the Chinese are drilling 60 miles off the coast of Key West Florida. (wonder how long before they drill in ANWAR ??)

How much does government policy have to do with oil prices???

An ocean of oil...
Quote:
The U.S. has known for decades that at least 8.5 billion proven barrels of oil sit off its Pacific, Atlantic and Gulf coasts, with the Interior Department estimating 86 billion barrels of undiscovered oil resources.

Why Brazil Isn't Ashamed to Exploit Its Oil

Quote:
Where government has the property right, restrictions on development tend to be low. But when the private sector is the owner, environmental concerns blossom.

How scary is this???

House Democrats call for nationalization of refineries

As if the government ever does anything right...guess they figure that if they can't regulate something to death they can just "nationalize" it.
