Energy Policy: After calling plans to drill for more oil a "hoax," Speaker Nancy Pelosi now says she'll allow a vote on drilling for more crude to reach the floor of the House. We'll believe it when we see it.It's not that we think Pelosi won't let something with the word "drilling" in it come up for a vote. It's just that it's likely to be stuck in one of those big omnibus bills with all sorts of pork-barrel spending, new taxes, restrictions on oil use, new economy-damaging limits on global warming gases or plans to tap the Strategic Petroleum...

Russia and China run on oil, gas, coal and nuclear energy. All the world's great economies run on oil, gas, coal and nuclear energy. All the world's great transportation systems run on oil, gas, coal and nuclear energy. All the world's great armies run on oil, gas, coal and nuclear energy. Yet, Obama, Pelosi and their Marxist/socialist Democrat friends are riding hell bent to leather rushing to convert America to run on solar and wind power. Unreliable technologies that aren't even developed yet. Not yet ready for prime time. Hot wind. Vaporware. Wonder why.

In past weeks, I read comment after comment that it doesn’t matter whether Pelosi and Reid bring up legislation to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling, after all the moratorium expires September 30th. Therefore, as of October 1st, we can drill and Bush can veto any bill that renews the moratorium. In reality, however, that thought process is too simplistic and does not represent how the moratorium is achieved and maintained. In reality, there is no magical bill that ...

The state of Alaska has sued the U.S. government, arguing that listing polar bears as a threatened species will hurt Alaskan oil and gas exploration, fisheries and tourism. The lawsuit, filed on Monday in federal court in Washington, seeks the withdrawal of a May 14 decision to list the big Arctic bears as threatened under the Endangered Species Act because climate change is melting their sea ice habitat. "We believe that the ... decision to list the polar bear was not based on the best scientific and commercial data available," Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said in a statement. Polar bears...

Should Nancy Pelosi reconvene the House to vote on offshore drilling? Yes No

Pelosi blocking vote on offshore oil drilling: Good, stand tough for environment Bad, oil supplies needed One more sign this isn't really a democracy

Thank you for joining nearly 1.2 million of your fellow Americans in signing the "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" petition. Congress has heard the message loud and clear, but your Member of Congress, Jim Marshall, has not signed the "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" petition. This is why we need your help to declare this July 4th Energy Independence Day! Today, Friday, June 27, Congress is scheduled to recess for the Fourth of July and will return to Washington, DC on July 7. During the 10-day recess, your Representative, Jim Marshall will be holding townhall meetings, attending parades,...

A Republican effort to force a vote on opening up more land to drilling on Thursday threatened to bring the annual appropriations process in the U.S. House of Representatives to a halt. Democrats, who control the House, shut down Appropriations Committee work on two major federal funding bills after Republicans tried to force a vote on drilling. "I think we've probably had our last meeting of the year," Chairman David Obey heatedly told reporters after the bill-drafting session broke up. The meeting was called to work on Labor and Agriculture department bills. Republicans tried to attach the Interior Department bill...

U.S. mayors are adding their voices to those raising concerns about energy produced from Alberta's vast oilsands. The U.S. Conference of Mayors, meeting in Miami this week, has approved a resolution calling on its members to ban the use of energy from unconventional sources because of its impact on the environment. "We don't want to spend taxpayer dollars on fuels that make global warming worse," said Eugene, Ore., Mayor Kitty Piercy, who submitted the resolution.

For Americans, the 4th of July is about more than the birth of our country. It's about the will of the people triumphing over the will of the elite. It's a day that celebrates a document, the Declaration of Independence, with a revolutionary premise: Governments are created to secure the God-given rights of citizens, not to grant them their rights. On the 4th of July, we all remember what Ronald Reagan told us, that we are a nation with a government, not the other way around. This 4th of July, as the price of gas tops $4 a gallon, the...

I keep wondering how long it will take Americans to connect the dots and figure out why the most powerful economy the world has ever seen cannot manage to drill for oil in its own backyard and then get it refined nearby. The news on June 10, if anyone was paying attention, was about the way the Natural Resources Defense Council and other environmental groups were able to thwart the plans of ConocoPhillips to expand its refinery in Roxana, Illinois. An appeal to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was upheld because, said the EPA, its air permit, previously granted, just...

Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain is "open to the possibility" of tapping America's domestic oil and gas reserves, but it is not clear from his voting record whether he would actively push to expand offshore oil recovery efforts. On ABC's "This Week -with George Stephanopoulos," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C), a McCain friend and supporter, said the Arizona Republican would be open to talking about looking for oil and gas "in our own backyard." "John McCain would allow offshore explorations, if the states consent," Graham said Sunday. Graham's statement echoed the position McCain took in response to a survey conducted...
