POPSFacts About US Energy How long are we going to allow our government to prohibit us from accessing our OWN ENERGY? Heck all this talk about the economy and yet we let billions and billions of dollars sit in the ground while we ship our money to other countries to buy their resources that they are more than happy to sell. WAKE UP AMERICA before we are all living in the DARK LITERALLY!

POPSEnergy Independence A Matter of National Security This sounds reasonable enough to me. Would any of your democrats want to explain to me and to the rest of America why you refuse to allow us to tap the energy resources that BELONGS TO WE THE PEOPLE? That us OUR OIL and those are OUR RESOURCES, and the jobs those resources would create could go a long way toward turning this economy around. It is foolish to think that you can go from 1% energy generation to enough wind and solar energy to reduce our use of carbon based fuels in a reasonable enough time frame to totally rule out all carbon based fuels. That is just plain foolhardy. Care to explain dems?

POPSCould this be the reason for higher gas prices? If this is actually the true voting record of these ELECTED officials who are supposed to be doing the peoples work then I have to wonder how many people of the governed actually support the majority opposing views?

POPSHow Government Regulation effects oil prices at the pump
As is usually the case with government intervention into private enterprise the unexpected results are usually far worse than the original problem congress set out to solve. Doesn't anybody study history anymore? It was not that long ago that the same ideas were floating around congress during the Carter years. Anyone remember the odd even gas days and the long lines at the pumps because of the government forced oil shortages of the 70's Among other mistakes from that period, the government increased the taxes levied on domestic oil producers, as if that would somehow help. The result was “reduced domestic oil production from between 3 and 6 percent, and increased oil imports from between 8 and 16 percent.” The government also instituted price controls, which only served to create the notorious gas shortages of that era. Yes, price controls meant consumers could get cheaper gas — but only after waiting in long gas lines and only if stations didn’t run out first.
