The No Energy Bill

If you want further information on the No Energy Bill the Democrats are proposing you can go the the House Minority Leader’s Website, but I found an article in The Virginian Pilot that I felt explained the bill in terms that even I could understand.  There are two main points that make it a ‘no energy’ bill.

1.  The states would not share in any revenues–therefore they would have no incentive to drill.

2,  There would be no drilling on the outer continental shelf less than fifty miles out–making any oil more difficult to obtain and putting many of the oil fields with the most potential off-limits.

This is a really bad bill, and passing it would be worse than doing nothing.

The democrats in congress today have no interest at all in helping us achieve energy independence.  This is a security issue as well as an economic issue.  If they are so unconcerned with our security and well being, they do not deserve to be in office and should be voted out as soon as possible.  They are definitely not representing the American people.
