Congress to the Rescue!!

Congress moves to increase domestic fossil fuel exploration and production. When connected to recent refining encouragements, domestic production and refining will increase dramatically. More importantly is that a three decade assault on fossil fuel production and usage might be at an end.

The initial attacks on petroleum usage were rightly due to its large scale pollution. Today, little pollution is emitted from cars, trucks, and aircraft. There is no consensus that CO2 emissions are pollution harmful to humans and the planet. In fact many say that increased levels of CO2 actually strengthens plants because carbon dioxide is plants' primary food.

Why is there quick movement to encourage exploration and production? It's off year election time. The people can see clearly which party supports environmentally safe production and which party wants to end all fossil fuel usage. Maybe annual elections will expedite legislative activity.
