The government is the problem. They won't let the oil companies drill more places here thanks to the pressure from the Eco Nazi’s. Further, we can’t build coal plants, we can't build nuke plants, we can't build wind farms, we can't build solar farms, we can't build dams, we can't, we can't all thanks to the eco Nazi’s and their friends in Washington.
The eco Nazi’s and their accomplices in Washington are the reason we are in this energy mess and we are not getting out of it anytime soon. The eco Nazi’s all want us to drive electric cars, trucks, etc. but they forgot to assess the capabilities of our current electrical grid system and its ability to deliver the required power. The sad part is that we need nuke, wind, solar, dam, coal to generate enough electricity to meet the increased domestic demands.
The eco Nazi’s are much to blame and Washington has fornicated this all up. While your blaming the oil companies, they are only reacting to the uncertain position Washington and the ECO Nazi’s have placed them with having to deal with the OPEC demons. The oil companies are going to hedge their bets on your back and all of us would likely pull the same crap if put in the same BS position.
Don’t look for a solution from Obuma. He’s in the pocket of the eco Nazi’s.
