Hoarding is exactly what the government is doing right now by filling the SPR, and frankly it's the best thing that could happen. It drives prices up. High prices encourage demand destruction. They also finance new well development. The hoarded oil gives us a buffer to fall back on once shortages become more prevalent. High prices are what we need in order to adapt to what's coming, and the sooner they happen, the better.

Pelosi, a California Democrat, said multiple initiatives intended to lower high energy costs have passed the Democratically controlled House only to "run into a brick wall" in the Senate because they did not receive the 60 votes needed to overcome Republican filibusters.

Pelosi has to say this, The best defense is still a good offense. The biggest tear in oil and gas prices have come since she has run the House. Makes little sense to require oil companies to drill more in the leases they already have, no market sense. If they though there was profitable oil to drill there they would already be drilling. Not saying she is the cause of the oil prices, just saying she's an idiot.

she had a fit over wanting Air Force 3 , a 757 for commuting back and forth from DC and home in California instead of taking an airline.

i am really tired of both parties running around pointing fingers trying to find "who is to blame" for high oil prices.

The US burns 20%+ of the world's oil and has for decades. during republican and democratic administrations alike.

I was looking for some leadership on this issue at the federal level and haven't seen it yet.

Pelosi is just as big an idiot as McSame and O'Bama and Billary for that matter.

IMHO, we, meaning our country as a whole, are in real trouble. No matter what the result of the presidential and congressional elections this fall, we may not see any real leadership.
