Ok, what about 18 months ago when the Republicans controlled congress. Why was there no vote then? I really do think we should drill more, in Alaska though, I see a new energy source in Hydrogen coming in the next few years, what I have read about it sounds encouraging, I agree we need to bump our “own” oil up and think it will happen whether Mcain or Obama is Pres. However, I don’t see the price at the pump going way down as a result, they are business people and will get as much as they can at the pump.
Maybe we have found a common ground...........
