Shortages are maintained by restrictions on drilling and making huge
reserves of oil unavailable to development to satisfy environmental
lobbyists. Energy producers are free to raise their prices due to the
shortage of oil created by the Congress, so they can write some nice tax
deductable checks to the various
environmental pressure groups so they can continue to fleece the public
and
erode freedom & property rights by spreading their BS about so-called
global
waring..
Isn't it funny how those people keep fighting against development &
drilling
, but never utter a peep about the invasion of millions of unassimilable
aliens into the country who will use water & energy, pollute the air with
the emissions from their vehicles, dump their garbage(especially soiled
diapers) into the environment and cause zillions of trees to be dozed to
make room for more housing, schools, and infrastrtucture.
Anyone truely concerned with the environment would make the immigration
invasion their top priority issue.
