Yup.......It's Interesting to Note The Different Approaches to High
Fuel Prices by Both Parties..........
DEMOCRATS: "Tax The Oil Companies!" - "Take Speculators To Court!" -
"Talk Tough To The Arabs!"
REPUBLICANS: "Drill for our OWN Goddamn Oil!" - "Build More
Refineries!"
The Democrats are proposing NOTHING that will Lower Fuel
Prices.........The Republicans ARE proposing Steps that WOULD Lower
Fuel Prices.............Donchaknow..........

Donchaknow that Senator Lamar Alexander (REPUBLICAN, TENNESSEE) has
proposed an energy plan that does not even use the word "drill"?
Here's Alexander's press release. Sounds a lot like something a
Democrat would propose -- donchaknow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
---------------
Alexander Proposes “New Manhattan Project For Clean Energy
Independence”
Five-year focus on plug-in electric cars and trucks, carbon capture,
solar power, nuclear waste, advanced biofuels, green buildings,
fusion
May 9th, 2008 - OAK RIDGE, Tenn. - Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.)
today proposed “launching a 5-year New Manhattan Project to put
America firmly on the path to clean energy independence within a
generation.”
Alexander, chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, said he chose
the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for his address because “this was
one of three secret cities that were the principal sites for the
original Manhattan project that split the atom to build the bomb that
won World War II.”
He told a gathering of scientists that “instead of ending a war, the
goal will be clean energy independence – so that we can deal with
rising gasoline prices, electricity prices, clean air, climate change
and national security – for our country first, and – because other
countries have the same urgent needs and therefore will adopt our
ideas – for the rest of the world.”
“By independence I do not mean that the United States would never buy
oil from Mexico or Canada or Saudi Arabia. By independence I do mean
that the United States could never be held hostage by any country for
our energy supplies.”
“In 1942, many were afraid that the first country to build an atomic
bomb could blackmail the rest of the world. Today, countries that
supply oil and natural gas can blackmail the rest of the world.”
Congressmen Bart Gordon, Democratic chairman of the House Science
Committee, and Zach Wamp, a senior Republican member of the House
Appropriations Committee, also addressed the gathering.
Alexander said that “bipartisan cooperation is imperative if we are to
think and act big enough to achieve such bold goals.”
“Sending $500 billion a year overseas to pay for oil weakens our
dollar. It is half our trade deficit. It is forcing gasoline prices
toward $4 a gallon and crushing family budgets,” Alexander continued.
Alexander proposed seven “grand challenges” and asked scientists to
help identify the steps to take during the next five years to meet
those challenges so that America can be “firmly on the road to clean
energy independence within a generation.” They are:
1. Make plug-in electric cars and trucks commonplace – The Senator
said that beginning in 2010 Nissan, Toyota, General Motors and Ford
will sell electric cars that can be plugged into wall sockets, and
that FedEx is already using hybrid delivery trucks. Alexander said TVA
has the equivalent of “several nuclear plants of idle nighttime
electricity capacity” and could offer “smart meters” that would allow
its 8.7 million customers to plug in their vehicles to “fill up” at
night for only a few dollars, in exchange for the customer paying more
for electricity between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. when the grid is busy.
“Sixty percent of Americans drive less than 30 miles each day. Those
Americans could drive a plug-in electric car or truck without using a
drop of gasoline. By some estimates, there is so much idle electric
capacity in power plants at night that over time we could replace
three-fourths of our light vehicles with plug-ins. That could reduce
our overseas oil bill from $500 billion to $250 billion – and do it
all without building one new power plant.”
In other words, he said, “We have the plug. The cars are coming. All
we need is the cord.”
The other grand challenges were:
2. Make carbon capture and storage a reality for coal-burning power
plants.
3. Make solar power cost competitive with power from fossil fuels.
4. Safely reprocess and store nuclear waste.
5. Make advanced biofuels cost-competitive with gasoline
6. Make new buildings green buildings.
7. Provide energy from fusion.
Alexander is chairman of the U.S. Senate’s Republican Conference and
co-chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority Congressional Caucus. He
is a member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee,
which oversees clean air and climate change issues, as well as the
Appropriations Committee, which oversees funding for the Oak Ridge
National Laboratory.

The repugs forbade drilling of the west cost of Florida were there is
oil and want to drill in ANWAR were there isn't oil. Yeah, that makes
sense....

But...the Democrats are going to crush the Republicans in November,
Ranger. President Obama, and huge Democrat majorities in both Houses
of Congress. How do I know? Bush endorsed McCain. Absolute kiss of
death, that. As we all know.
