Ten Big Accomplishments in Less Than Ten Years

It is hard to believe that with the infrastructure already in place, with the technology available to the oil companies allowing them to drill horizontally, that it would take ten years to start seeing any crude from ANWR. There are estimates that say it could take anywhere from 18 months to two years to see results.

Back To The ’70s?

For this reason if for no other, none of them deserves re-election.

Ethanol Energy Policy

There is no greater testament to the incompetence than our self-serving criminal class who walk the halls of Congress in Washington as they have mandated the use of biofuel Ethanol and we can thank the Bush Administration for going along with the 2007 Energy Bill fiasco and caving into the global warming alarmists.
