"Big Lie that energy prices went up during Clinton years"
At the beginning of Clinton years natural gas (1 BTU) was 1.80$
it hit $9 by Bush inauguration. Now it is below $3

Big Lie that energy prices went up during Clinton years

Your ignorance on the issue is glaring. Today's high prices are THE RESULT OF the mismanagement of energy policy during Clinton years.

It's really quite simple, it takes 3-4 years to build new gasfired power plants from start to finish.

1-2 years worth of work came before this announcement:

Construction of the $470 million Sherry Energy Center is expected to begin during the second quarter of 2002, with commercial operation of the simple-cycle units starting in the second quarter of 2003. The combined-cycle plant is expected to enter commercial operation in the second quarter of 2004. Calpine will manage the construction of the project, and will own and operate the facility as part of its new fleet of fuel-efficient power facilities throughout the United States.

Todays prices are the result of the imbalance of supply and demand. To have affected todays supply, you would have had to have taken action 3 years ago. President Loosezipper was too busy going to fund raisers and getting BJ's on the job to do anything about it.

YOU ARE THE BIG LIAR!

This is the RNC's expertise, to invent a lie to deflect every important negataive truth about themselves, or to take credit for everything done by the other side. You don't see that on the Democratic side nearly as much.

ROTFL! This is the Dem expertise, attributing to the opposition the very things of which they are most egregiously guilty!
