Another big giveaway to oil companies

And again, President Bush is placing oil and big money over the well-being of his country and the world.

President Bush does not care about the environment! He does not care what will happen to this world, the environment or the human species! The only thing he cares about is how to please the economy, his friends in the oil industry and his own wallet.

President Bush even blames congressional Democrats for the high gasoline prices that are angering many American consumers.

What kind of bad joke is that? Did the congressional Democrats drive the oil prizes up? If anyone believes what President Bush is saying then he or she should really get his of her head check for any kind of damage!

Don’t we all know that the world-market drives the prize up?

However, it was and is the lack of foresight to imagine that the policies, Washington have been promoting, would lead to this kind of energy disaster. Who was the one who did not want to implement any kind of alternative energy programs or research?

Well guess: President Bush! He told the American people that any environmental policies would cost jobs. The truth however is that this kind of shortsightedness over the last 8 years by the Bush government has cost jobs!

And what a surprise, Bush's own father, President George H.W. Bush had issued the executive order in 1990 that prohibits drilling for oil and gas on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northeastern Alaska.

Last, would such drilling improve the situation for the American consumer? Hennessey, the National Economic Council director, said that the proposed initiatives would not increase domestic energy supplies for years.

Other economist point out that the prize of oil has less to do with the supply but rather with the weak US dollar, the high consumption of the US and high speculation. Therefore, drilling for oil and gas on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northeastern Alaska would have little impact in the short-term nor in the long-run.

However, drilling for oil and gas on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northeastern Alaska could have a dramatic impact on the tourist industry of Florida, California and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northeastern Alaska.

One should ask: What is more important, to protect an environment from destruction or to give oil companies billions in profits? Americans will continue to pay the high prize at the pump if they don't decrease consumption!
