There are so many regulations on the environment, therefore little to nothing takes place to produce energy efficiently and cheaply. Nuclear power is safe, yet the fission waste is only stored at the plants making those plants more dangerous in the even of earthquakes or other calamities. Why not open Yucca Mountain and store the waste properly? One can only blame democRATS.
If no mining or drilling takes place, eventually the energy is still in the ground and nobody has energy. This will not allow economic development, nor create jobs, should this practice continue. No energy, no economic engine. Therefore again, one has to blame democRATS.
Someday maybe the majority of Americans will wake up. Till then, Americans are being fooled by fools. May 2012 remove more of the fools.
Esp. for oil, they say what goes, guarded from the public by a wall of evilrats.
