Cong. Tim Ryan stated that he is willing to allow oil drilling in America's most sensative environments just to allow American's to continue excessive usage of oil and gas. Everywhere you look proof of global warming is showing up. Glacier National Park is loosing all of it's glaciers. The glaciers in Glacier Bay National Park have retreated to the end of the bay. Miami is under threat of being flooded like New Orleans if the ice shelf in Antarctica continues to melt and slip into the ocean.
Yet congress refuses to provide the leadership to really reduce our consumption of gasoline. McCain wants to eliminate the tax on gasoline. No money to repair roads. Definately no money to build passenger trains to reduce our use of gasoline. Congress proposed increasing gas mileage in cars to 25 mpg. Wow. 50 mpg might have the desired result. Providing mass transit like it Europe might help.
But no, Ryan and others just bury their heads and provide zero leadership in this area. In the meantime, we go to war to get oil. We send our last dollars to Saudia Arabia for oil. They use the money to blow up our buildings.
Where's the leadership when you need it?
