Open your eyes America! As soon as any measure is introduced it is wipped out in the bud. Lesson given for anyone not to even think about. Case in Point Sen. Larry Craig Idaho. He made the mistake to Introduce Energy Bill Tackles conservation, security, renewable fuels, technology, and production. Big mistake was this one in the Bill: expanding access to certain Outer Continental Shelf Resources; Once he wrote that he on the Bill he was doomed. Environmentalism is a religion that tackles ruhtlessly anyone who stand on its way. Dorgan, Craig Introduce Energy Bill Tackles conservation, security, renewable fuels, technology, and production WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senators Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., and Larry Craig, R-Idaho, introduced the Security and Fuel Efficiency (SAFE) Energy Act of 2007 today. The legislation follows closely many of the policy recommendations of the Energy Security Leadership Council, which released its "Recommendation to the Nation on Reducing U.S. Oil Dependence" report in December 2006. A number of Council members joined Dorgan and Craig at the press conference announcing the legislation. Dorgan said, "This bill is a major bi-partisan initiative that bridges the gap between those who argue increased oil production is the only way to increase our nation's energy security, and those who say increased conservation is the only answer. We've found a sensible, workable, way to do both, as well as to make sure new, alternative, renewable sources of energy are brought into our mix in a very important way." Craig said, "We need to balance conservation, new technologies, and production rather than support one solution over another. What you see before you is a comprehensive approach that includes something for everyone to support, as well as provisions that some have not supported individually in the past. For example, I haven't supported increasing automobile efficiency standards alone, but I can when it is coupled with expanded production and innovative alternative fuels like cellulosic ethanol. This is not an end-all-be-all, but SAFE represents a truly bi-partisan compromise that goes much farther than any partisan provision could." The legislation includes four titles focusing on: increasing fuel efficiency of the transportation sector; growing use of alternative fuels and infrastructure; expanding access to certain Outer Continental Shelf Resources; and managing international energy security risks. Specific details are available in the attached summary of the legislation. Participants attending the press conference to lend their support to the legislation included: General P.X. Kelley, USMC (Ret.), 28th Commandant, U.S. Marine Corps (ESLC co-Chair); John F. Lehman, former Secretary of the U.S. Navy and member of the 9-11 Commission; Andrew N. Liveris, Chairman and CEO, The Dow Chemical Company; David P. Steiner, CEO, Waste Management, Inc; General Charles. F. Wald USAF (Ret.), former Deputy Commander of the United States European Command (EUCOM). For more information, you can read the bill (PDF), a summary (PDF), or a section-by-section (PDF).

Issue of oil has moved from: Security and independence to tackling "speculators" Why? It is simple: lessons are learned quickly. Byron Dorgan didn't want to face the same fate of Larry Craig. Byron Dorgan, Kent Conrad Vote Against Expanding Domestic Production Of Gasoline. (Below) If you know how the establishment got scared sh**less after Sen. Craig was framed in that sting, because he advocated drilling in FLA coast, you will understand why the issue of oil has moved from: Security and independence to tackling "speculators". You Americans got to open your eyes. You are being subject by a religious clique -the Greenists- that is worse than the one in Middle East. The enemy is within! Byron Dorgan, Kent Conrad Vote Against Expanding Domestic Production Of Gasoline By Rob on May 13, 2008 at 09:32 am 10 Comments North Dakota’s Senators spend a lot of time talking about high gas prices. Especially Senator Dorgan. They talk about what a terrible impact those high prices have on this country’s citizens. Particularly North Dakotans who live in rural places which require lots of on-the-road time and have nothing in terms of public transportation. So when an amendment came forward in the Senate to allow expanded domestic production of oil, something that would increase supply and decrease prices, you’d think these two public servants would jump at the opportunity, right? Well such an opportunity presented itself today in the form of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s amendment to allow expanded domestic exploration for oil in places like the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge. What did Senators Dorgan and Conrad do? They voted against it. Evidence of their “nay” votes will be here as soon as the Senate website is updated. What’s astonishing is that Senator Dorgan has come out in favor of drilling for oil in the backyard of North Dakotans living around the Bakken formation, but not in favor of drilling for oil in a remote and little-visited bit of frozen tundra north of the arctic circle. Why is one ok, but the other bad? And why does Senator Dorgan think its ok to play politics with national energy policy?
