The intraparty spat comes as motorists are besieged by rising oil prices. Oil prices rose 22 percent from Labor Day through the end of the year. The national average price for gas is about $3.08 per gallon, the highest since January 2008 when the price was around $3.11 a gallon. Oil prices fell below $88 Friday, but analysts expect price of a barrel to surpass $100 this year. And gas prices generally rise between the start of the year and Memorial Day.
Rep. Ed Markey of (I) Massachusetts just unveiled his latest bill to designate the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge's coastal plain as wilderness -- a move that would put the refuge and its estimated 11 billion barrels of recoverable oil beyond the reach of oil companies.
(THIS REP. MARKEY PREFERS THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA ESPECIALLY WITHOUT
BUILDING UP SOURCES OF ENERGY WHICH HAS BEEN STALEMATE FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS. THIS LEGISLATION WILL TAKE MORE OUT OF OUR POCKETS NEEDED FOR ESSENTIAL NEEDS TO FEED THIS HIGH COST OF ENERGY. WHEN STATES LOSES RIGHTS TO ITS OWN LAND, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS. THE FEDERAL GOV CAN MANDATE THE STATES RIGHTS AWAY FROM ITS RESIDENT.)
Sen Begich (R-AL)says Congress specifically set aside 1.5 million acres along the coastal plain for oil and gas exploration. He says the area has enormous potential and should be part of the nation's energy plan.
(CONGRESS GIVETH AND NOW PLANS TO TAKETH AWAY WHAT A BUNCH OF JACKASSES. THIS LEGISLATION IS MARXIST IN THE MAKING)
