Supposedly Nancy Pelosi is now open to voting on domestic drilling. The media is going to carry this bag for her, but don’t be fooled. If domestic drilling amounts to the supposed “compromise” Lindsey Graham, Saxby Chambliss and three other Republican Senators worked out in their Gang of Ten, don’t expect the oil to start flowing. And her insistence that any bill also include releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve shows just how clueless she actually is. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is there for immediate and dire emergencies… like if a serious Hurricane cuts off our supply or some war or terrorist event prevents us from getting the resources we need. And guess what… whatever is released must be replaced, which means more tax dollars going to buy oil at a higher price point just because Nancy Pelosi wants to give our country some fake, election-year relief. Its not a solution and its not a policy… its equivalent to putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound.
Releasing from the Strategic Reserve is the hoax… just like the Gang of Ten’s “compromise” is. Neither will do anything to increase our domestic oil production. Neither will do anything to consistently increase supply or provide energy security or independence. Neither will open up the new jobs possible like offshore drilling would.
Don’t be fooled or let the liberal press give Pelosi a pass on this. The heat is on. Keep up the fight.
Drill Here. Drill Now.
