Energy Bill : Out of Gas!

Out of Gas
Volume X Issue 21 - June 24, 2005

With oil hovering around $60 a barrel, you might think that the energy bill now being debated in the Senate would do something about high prices at the pump and our nation's dangerous dependence on foreign oil. Think again. As even the President admitted this week, this bill will do nothing to provide consumers with short-term relief from $2.00 gasoline.

But what the President and his friends in Washington won't tell you is that this bill isn't going to lower gas prices in the long term either.

1. AND the auto companies have seen to it that there is no significant

relief either. Not only have they been lax in providing fuel efficient cars, but they've put limits on foreign car imports and lobbied against fuel efficiency standards (and won)! Now that's team work.

2. by codling auto companies we

make them lazy, stupid, uninnovative, uncompetitive. We're seeing that right now I think.
