Rep. John Peterson, R-Pa., proposed that we open U.S. waters between 50 and 200 miles off shore for drilling. The first 50 miles off shore would be left untouched.
Amazing, that with gas prices already over $4 a gallon and climbing, that Peterson’s proposal was rejected by the House Subcommittee. Maybe not so amazing when you [...]

The polar bear has become the latest pawn in the environmentalists’ move to prevent exploration and drilling in ANWR. This underhanded maneuver gives environmentalists a bad name – and rightly so.

Food prices have gone up so much I’m in ‘sticker shock’ from my last grocery receipt.
Gas prices are rising as predicted and I have no doubt they could actually hit the unimaginable but predicted price of $5 a gallon by this summer. These price surges affect all of us, some more than others [...]
