to me it seems dems want to do something,
force em to drill in spots they own, give incentives for renewable, and speculation is why oiil is so high.
rep want worse for environment
instead of drilling in spots we have, go to new spots and drill, and ever hear of the show gms death of the electric car, they already had a battery developed and working that lasted about 300-500 miles and longer than the life of the car. but they stayed with the crappiest battery of all times acdelco. so in turn we already have technology for plugin cars. another reason we stay with the internal combustion engine is its an oil hog compared to electric. the ic engine uses on average 5+ quarts of oil every 3,000 miles plus oil for gas/diesel, and every other hydraulic part that uses hydraulic fluid compared to electric stuff.

and we have the manufactoring technology to mass produce any type of renewable energy (solar panels, wind, ect)
