Stupid Congress still trying to pass bogus Energy bill.

I’ve talked about this ridiclous and absurd “energy plan” before, and it bears repeating that I think it’s a big stinking pile of s***. As I’ve pointed out in the past the bill is hardly any type of compromise because it doesn’t really DO anything to relieve the pressure at the pump or on anyone for that matter. The bill is designed to open up a tiny, tiny, insignificant amount of drilling space in the Outer Continental shelf. While that seems like a kinda, sorta good idea it, at the same time, imposes ridiculous tax hikes and penalties upon the Oil companies for starting up exploration in that area.

Not to mention it funnels a ridiclous amount of taxpayers funds in to subsidiaries to try and fund alternative energy projects which have proven to be nothing but wapourware in the past. With most of the money being funneled in to alternative projects and huge tax increases being imposed upon the oil companies the price of gas per gallon will hardly fall, but might increase instead. If you want to know how great all those alternative and renewable subsidiaries have been doing? Just look at the last 3-4 years. Congress has passed TWO energy bills which are filled to the brim with subsidiaries for alternative and renewable energy plans. can you guess what Gas prices have done since then???

They have risen by almost $1.50 a gallon.

Can you imagine what they will do if we continue this course of wasting money on renewable sources and alternative fuels WHILE still purchasing the majority of our oil from overseas? You think $4.00 a gallon is bad? You just wait.

It’s time we “Drill, drill, drill” and people in congress need to figure that out.
