Pelosi Says Drilling for More Oil “Not the Answer”
presentatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said calls by Republicans to drill for more oil “is not the answer America needs.”“Making gasoline more affordable would be the exact opposite of what we need to do,” Pelosi asserted. “We need to wean the country off of its dependence on fossil fuels. We can only do this if we discourage Americans’ love affair with their cars and put an end to the frenzy of excessive and senseless driving.”
In support of her contention that Americans’ driving habits are “excessive” and “senseless,” the Speaker pointed to a recent study showing that rising fuel costs were linked to declining highway fatalities. The study by two university professors looked at fatalities and fuel prices over the 1985-2006 timeframe and concluded that fatalities dropped by two percent for every ten percent increase in gasoline prices.
“The fact that the peak gasoline price in 2006 was $2.50 a gallon tells me that at today’s $4 a gallon we’re saving even more lives,” Pelosi conjectured. “Rather than undermine this salubrious trend by attempting to reverse the rising costs of fuel we should be celebrating our good fortune.”
I reckon when you are married to a multi-millionaire using undocumented labor without cars in his California vineyards and are you are personally chauffeured around in gov'mint SUVs and Limo's -- the more of the little people that you can force out of their cars -- the clearer the road ahead..... for you and your equally privileged friends!
And she is the Speaker of the "People's" House --- Wheee Doggies - we are in a peck of trouble in this country!
