"Comprehensive Energy Policy" -- What A Joke!

Congressional leaders plan on completing a “Comprehensive” energy bill before leaving for their Christmas break.

What a joke!

In an earlier posting, it was established that “comprehensive” bills serve as a cover-up for the enactment of “crap” and “pork”.

Congress is incapable of passing a meaningful energy policy because it is scared to death of the radical environmentalists.

This bill will not—

…address our dependence on OPEC

…remove the ridiculous environmental road blocks to building new refineries.

…address the judicial red tape problems which prevent construction of new nuclear power plants.

…remove the stupid rules which prevent the U.S. from using its abundant resources.


The bill will—

…insure that no problems relative to energy are resolved.

…increase emphases on the failed idiotic Ethanol program.

… perpetuate the lie that man-kind causes global warming.

…include SUV’s and Light Truck’s in the CAFÉ standards.

…expand CAFÉ standards.

Get ready for Mini-Cooper size cars folks!

The original CAFÉ standards caused the sale of SUV’s and Truck’s to double because American’s did not want to risk their family’s lives, and/or wanted to tow a trailer etc. This made the environmentalists unhappy so they have pushed for even higher standards and the inclusion of SUV’s and Truck’s in the same CAFÉ standards. It does not matter to them or their lapdogs in Congress that such standards will make both the SUV and Truck useless for its designed purpose.

The very serious consequences of CAFÉ-1 were the death of over 2,000 persons per year. If we are very lucky, CAFÉ-2 will only increase the death toll to 6,000 persons per year. Don’t bet the farm on it being that low.

6,000 deaths a year is one hell of a price to pay because Congress hasn’t got the guts to do their job. All they need to do is open up America’s plentiful oil reserves, open the way to new refineries, and nuclear power plants, and provide for the conversion of coal to natural gas and liquid fuels.
