the polls of Americans have swayed to supporting more drilling. Our spineless representatives that like to use polls should just follow the will of the people BUT, Nancy "I want to save the planet" Pelosi knows what's best for us and adjourned the congress. Liberal congress has done absolutely nothing to address energy but oh yeh, be sure to check your tire pressure..........(now who said that?)
Hopes for vote on offshore drilling dwindling
Associated Press - July 31, 2008 4:33 AM ET
WASHINGTON (AP) - Congress appears to be set to head home for the August recess without coming to a deal on offshore oil and gas drilling.
A House Republican effort to require a vote on a drilling bill before the House adjourns for a monthlong break has failed by a single vote.
Democrats like House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer claim oil companies already have leases for areas experts say contain huge amounts of oil and say those should be used first.
With the hours ticking down before Congress adjourns for the summer, it doesn't look like lawmakers will take any action on energy.
