"It's unfortunate that the only place Democrats in Congress can find to explore for more resources is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve," said White House spokesman Scott Stanzel. "It is time to put aside these politically-motivated band-aids offered by the Democrats and do something that will improve our energy security in the future like expanding access to American energy in" the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).

Nancy Pelosi today announced that we should release some of our national oil reserves to help "ease our pain at the pump" thus increasing supply...Increasing supply ? Isn't that the very thing that Osama said would NOT drop the price of gas ? LMAO !! Republicans and conservatives want to drill now domestically and drop the price because we know (because we're smarter than dumba$$ libs) that increasing supply is going to drop the price....We say it and libs disagree, Pelosi says something about increasing supply and it's suddenly this giant light bulb that goes off over these teeny-brained liberals heads...
It's truly laughable...

Damn right it's laughable. These are the same idiot Democrats claiming drilling in Alaska and elsewhere wouldn't do squat, but now they say tap into strategic oil reserves.
Now, if they allowed drilling, then maybe they could tap the strategic oil reserves in the short run, but these idiots are just talking in circles, per usual.

This is what Carter did - we do not need rationing again.
Pelosi has a mirror in front of her face, time to get out and start working on alternatives and set up drilling so at least it is available.

"Without directly opposing her proposal, House GOP leader John Boehner of Ohio said that Pelosi's call to release supplies from the SPR meant that she "is admitting yet again that increasing the supply of oil will help reduce the price of gasoline."

The Libs chant:
MAKE MORE HYBRIDS !!!
Wait a minute....you have to plug those in...oh, crap now we're going to need more oil to charge these cars up...
Maybe we could find a way to plug hybrids into trees....
nope, then we would kill the trees...Maybe we could run them off liberal brain power....
naw...cars would die within a few microseconds...

I'm in the powergen business. The hybrids they continue to pitch actually take more energy to build and maintain than normal single fuel cars. It's the batteries. NiCad or Lithium Ion cost big bucks and are more dangerous in an accident then normal gas powered vehicles. But when did you ever see a less costly more efficient solution from the liberal tree huggers? Never.

This is the same party that wanted to run away from a bunch of towel wearing terrorists in Iraq. They demanded we pull out of Iraq, well we are now. The surge and change in strategy won this and permitted Iraq to stabilize. But you'd never know that by reading US media sources.
On this topic, the dems won't permit drilling until they have the house, senate and White House. Once again Dems playing games with America's economy.

"Once again Dems playing games with America's economy."
Please. The word "economy" doesn't even exist in the Dems' vocabulary. Their only concerns are keeping themselves in office and on the government dole, paying lip service to "world peace", and making sure everybody holds hands, hums "Kumbaya" and lives in a harmonious, organic butterfly-filled world free of money, class and competition. As long as there's a big huge government to provide for one and all, why should anyone trouble their heads about the economy?

T. Boone Pickens has some ideas. However, he should be spending his money building his proposed wind farms instead of proselytizing. Let us ask why he is proselytizing? Is he looking for the people to look to the government to provide wind farm builders greater incentives? He is spending $58 million on his ad campaign. That $58 million could set up a major wind farm that would produce real electricity, not just media buzz.
Natural gas is part of his "plan"... and, at the same time, he says "we can't drill our way out of this one". There is a bit of a disconnect there since how else will more natural gas be produced other than by drilling for more of it?
Where is the heavy lifting alternative here? I still haven't heard anything about nuclear as part of it. Without that, his "plan" is pie in the sky.

Pickens is an idiot who hasn't done his math. Wind power is very costly and without huge gov. subs would never be built. They use more energy to build and maintain than they will ever generate. They're also not a reliable source of energy. Wind isn't consistent. As to the costs, $59M would only set up around 50 wind machines. He's do better investing in a coal fired plant.
On nuclear, I build those to, in every other country but the USA. Why? Because the left here has scared people into thinking they'll all die if you have a plant near by.

No matter how much hocus pocus the left tries to do, fossil fuel will still be the major source of our energy for at least the next 100 years. When it comes to coal, we hold the worlds largest reserves. With current technology, we could convert coal to gasoline. Production costs when compared with sweet crude oil, would be around $ 35-50/barrel. We have the abilities but once again, we're letting the left force ethanol, wind and solar as the only solutions. What a terrible mistake. While China and India grow, we're dying between energy costs, taxes and other left ideas. I don't agree with China's damage to the environment, but we've gone too far in the other direction.

Nancy Pelosi Asks Bush To Stop Filling Strategic Oil Reserves
http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/nancy_pelosi_a...
July 8, 2008 Pelosi calls on Bush to release reserve oil
Seems she can't make up her mind
Of course if Bush sells oil from the reserve the government will make a lot of money - more for the Democrats to spend and help cover up their excesses
Of course she might have gotten this idea from Gingrich. He advocated selling oil from the Strategic Oil Reserves to bring down prices and punish the speculators

The Democrat leadership is clueless. They don't know what to do, but they know they have to do something before Labor Day. After Labor Day we will all be looking for some leaders, and the Democrats are falling short.
