These "oil men" of which you speak are chomping at the bit to increase the supply of oil by drilling in Anwar and off shore. They are chomping at the bit to build new refineries ... right here in the U.S. The Hydro electric people (GE) are chomping at the bit to build new dams and the Atomic Energy guys are chomping at the bit to build new atomic energy plants. But ... who's standing in the way, Med? Your beloved Democrat Party and the Environmental Lobby that pays for their campaigns, that's who. You know, you and your party are fond of spouting off about "helping the poor," but do you ever have the thought that the "poor" are suffering the most under your party's misdirected energy policies?

Yes, we need alternate sources of energy, the development of which, is off somewhere in the future. We live in "the right now," and right now is when we need to increase energy production through already proven means.
