How high will Democrats let the price of gas get before considering the option of drilling for more oil? Ken Salazar (upper picture), a Democrat from Colorado, set the bar in Thursday’s action in the Senate.
Gas can hit $10 per gallon and the Democrats still won’t act!
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (lower picture) will not allow a vote on drilling in the House of Representatives. 
The Democrats are aware that if they vote against drilling, it will damage them in the November elections.
That is why they refuse to even allow a vote on this.
Why? The Democrats want more environmentally friendly energy such as solar, wind and geo-thermal. Bio-fuels could help. However, to have a significant effect, we would need to use most or our heartland for growing bio-fuel compatible crops. This would raise the price of food as well as the cost of bio-fuel at the pump.
It will take twice as long to develop enough solar, wind and geo-thermal energy than it will to drill for new oil.
In the meanwhile gas will keep going higher and we will send billions more each year to the Middle-East for oil. And that’s not even counting the damage to the environment by shipping oil to us from half way around the world.
