congress needs to get offa their collective arses and open up drilling for our own oil! we have the technology, and the resources, to do it more environmentally soundly than in years past.
we need to stop buying oil from the saudi's and venezuela...we're providing them the income to finance terrorists among other things.
and yes we need to continue the quest for alternative fuel sources...but, do you think a vehicle powered by ethanol/gasahol/LNG/LPG/solar would tow your 25ft trailer/toy-hauler and get more than 3 MPG? not with today's technology.
here in the area where i live, diesel is nearing $4.00 per gallon. it's TRIPLED in cost in the last three years. unleaded regular is near $3.50 per gallon.
our congress does NOT help the AVERAGE american at all. even chuck shummer recoginizes that; he wrote a book about congress being out of touch with reality. ( cannot recall the title at the moment)
hillary will do nothing different...and i sincerely doubt any other newly elected pres will be able to much either; dem or republican.
in the end, it's all about one thing...$$$$$$$$$
