Dems trying to Ban Oil Shale AGAIN

Reid to Renew Oil Shale Ban, Deny Americans Vast Energy Resources During Economic Crisis09/25/2008 - 12:46:53 PM
We've just been alerted that despite House Democrats relenting on extending bans on offshore drilling and oil shale in the continuing resolution (CR) appropriations bill, Democrat Senate Leader Harry Reid has decided to sneak an extension of the oil shale ban through as Congress fights over the financial bailout. Oil shale in America's West is estimated to hold be between 800 billion and 2 trillion barrels of oil -- that is more than three times the proven oil reserves in Saudi Arabia alone.
Here is the text of Reid's proposed new ban on oil shale, that he is trying to add as an amendment to the CR or move seperately as a "stimulus" package, or we should say an anti-stimulus package if this is included.
Sec 1602 continues ban on oil shale. The language follows:
SEC. 1602. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, including section 152 of division A of H.R. 2638 (110th Congress), the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009, the terms and conditions contained in section 433 of division F of Public Law 110–161 shall remain in effect for the 19 fiscal year ending September 30, 2009.
It would be an insult to all Americans if Senate Democrats worked to bailout Wall Street while damaging our future prosperity by banning development of vast energy reserves in oil shale.
Senator Jim DeMint, R-South Carolina

René, I like this story. It's good stuff. Dems are always acting like a bunch of commies.

Not commies, pure greedy capitalists, corrupt to the core. I'm sad to say that they have come to this.

They are putting north America at risk over this.
It's time we realize that the Dems have caused the energy crisis.
Alternatives are years away - we need to take action to solve this problem now.

René, I like this story. It's good stuff. We need to face the fact that the Democratic Party is hostage to the extremists in the environmental movement. They have placed America in real danger with their past prohibitions on domestic energy production, and they will always try to sneak in these prohibitions when they can. Until we get some Truman-Kennedy Democrats again, they (the Democrats) must be confronted, exposed and defeated
