Really, it isn’t.
Senators OK more coastal drilling
The Senate voted Tuesday to open 8.3 million acres of federal waters in the central Gulf of Mexico to oil and gas drilling — setting up a confrontation with the House, which wants even more drilling in waters now off-limits.
Supporters of the Senate measure said it would be a major step toward producing more domestic energy and forcing down natural- gas prices, which have soared in recent years.
The Senate approved the measure by a vote of 71-25.
The good news, friends and neighbors, is that the House leadership wants nearly double that amount and the Senate will begin negotiations with the House in Spetember.
Remember: Only eco-socialists think that “Energy Indepenence” means solar panels and electric cars.
I still want a nuclear powered S.U.V.
Can’t we just wipe the grease off hippies and fuel our trucks with that?
