for the drill baby drill boys
kudos to the cumberland county crew for passing the first climate control plan! A first step in the right direction for keeping local money local! According to their study cumberland county spent 1.36 billion in energy cost for 2007 and 90% of that is spent on imported energy! this money leaves the state! Now you know why the party of big business is crying drill baby drill! they don't tell you that in the past 2 years we have increased our domestic supply and doubled our export of oil while fuel prices have increased! hmmm could be those people your listening to are really shills !

Sponsored LinksMeasured in dollars, the nation is on pace this year to ship more gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel than any other single export, according to U.S. Census data going back to 1990. It will also be the first year in more than 60 that America has been a net exporter of these
so this means all those who were crying drill baby drill wanted our usa suppliers to export our domestic crude and excess gas overseas to keep our prices high while reaping record profits while depleteing our resources!

This news should be out there for EVERYONE know. This is something the GOP voters should know about concerning why fuel prices are so high!!! Only when the little brained people know this will ACTION begin to stop the DRAIN and begin the process of lower prices.
This is pure fantasy that fuel prices will drop when the supply exceeds the damned ones demand.
