I can't stand most Republicans or Democrats but what Pelosi is doing is unacceptable darkciti2, stop playing into the Republican vs Democrat crap. This is about letting people have a voice and Pelosi is cutting off the microphone.
Some of you actually believe this s**t?!?!! It will not take 20 years to get oil to market... more like 1 to 2 years. And, the effect will be much more than cents a gallon.
According to a 1996 study from the libertarian think tank Cato Institute:1)On 8 of the 10 key economic variables examined, the American economy performed better during the Reagan years than during the pre- and post-Reagan years. 2)Real median family income grew by $4,000 during the Reagan period after experiencing no growth in the pre-Reagan years; it experienced a loss of almost $1,500 in the post-Reagan years. 3)Interest rates, inflation, and unemployment fell faster under Reagan than they did immediately before or after his presidency. 4)The only economic variable that was worse in the Reagan period than in both the pre- and post-Reagan years was the savings rate, which fell rapidly in the 1980s.
Why the f**k are we still using fossil fuels? Why are hybrids so damn expensive? Why are the great hybrid models been in development for the last 10 years or are available to other countries, but not the US? No matter where we dig we need alternative energy. There is only so much oil left out there. It isn't an unlimited supply.
