Home » Domestic Energy » Take Actions to Increase Oil and Gas Supplies

Today, AAA reported that yesterday's nationwide retail gasoline prices climbed to a nationwide $2.695 per gallon average, the highest average price this year. Despite this sharp gasoline price increase, which has been driven by strong crude oil prices, the federal government has done little to help increase the supply of domestic crude oil, the basic feedstock of gasoline.

It's been more than a year since Congress and former President Bush lifted the moratoria on leasing new parcels in federal waters off the coasts of the Atlantic and Pacific, yet this administration has slow pedaled efforts to set up a framework to allow leasing on this acreage, even though the majority of Americans support greater development of our domestic resources. Instead, a troubling pattern of delay has emerged when it comes to developing the nation's federal resources--whether they are offshore in federal waters or onshore.

Americans are already suffering because of the prolonged economic recession, and the recent gasoline price rise--which is being compounded by short-sighted government policies--is only furthering their difficulties.

We urge the administration and Congress to take actions to increase domestic oil and natural gas supplies, which would add new U.S. jobs, provide much-needed revenues to federal, state and local governments and help ensure that adequate supplies are available to generate the gasoline and diesel our nation needs.

Jack, I have send letters and e-mails to my congressman. I am planning a second documentary about energy and liberals. What more can I do?
You saw this coming a year ago. What ads do you and your organization have coming out this year?

You are the boss. I urge you to become more pro-active. What are you afraid of? Why no good ads like MOVE-ON has done in the past?

Please respond.... Joe Vecchio

Jack, the API, Energy Tomorow, Energy Citizen,

I meet Richard Pauli from the web site NO Energy Tomorrow. check out his blog. Rachel doesn't promote the irresponsible us of fossil fuels by driving a 17mpg truck and not 45mpg Geo Metro from GM.

Good luck fighting this logic.......

As nearly half our domestic and imported oil is consumed primarily in the form
of gasoline to fuel personal vehicles, this is where we need to focus a great deal
of our attention and investment dollars.
