The leadership of the Democrat Party has consciously followed a policy of pushing this “Conservation not Consumption” nonsense for 30 years. The end result is a US Energy Market wholly depended on the International Oil Market. This disaster is wholly a product of the Democrat and their obsequious relationship with the Green Lobby.
So of course the gutless blunderers who run the GOP bend over and grab their ankles instead of taking on the Democrats on this!
The destruction of the Oil production industry is exactly the same as their elimination of the Nuclear Power industry.
They have eliminated the cleanest, cheapest and most powerful power sources in the world and wonder why we have a crisis.
Course PravdABDNC will blame consumption like that is the problem when it is supply. Thank you Congress.

Supply Side economics, as shown by Art Laffer and Milton Friedman
versus
Demand Side economics, used by Lord Maynard Keynes and Democrats since then. Good intentions fail to work but they keep on trying.
