Pressure Builds on Washington Democrats to Support Republican Energy Solutions

New CNN Poll: 73% of Americans Support American-Made Energy Exploration



Americans continue to express overwhelming support for Republican energy solutions. A new CNN/Opinion Research poll shows that nearly 3 in 4 Americans support offshore exploration for oil and natural gas. This poll comes as gas prices hit a fourth straight record high going into the Independence Day holiday weekend. AAA says fewer Americans will travel this holiday as a result of the pain at the pump.




House Republicans believe America needs an "all-of-the-above" solution to our energy crisis -- including greater conservation, increased use of alternative and renewable energy, and environmentally sound production of American oil and natural gas.




This is just the latest in a series of national surveys showing increased public support for meaningful solutions that will increase supply to lower prices and promote energy independence:




76% Fox News Poll: "Just over three-quarters (76 percent) support immediately increasing oil drilling in the United States. More than seven in 10 Democrats (71 percent) also hold this view." (6/21/08)
73% CNN/Opinion Research Poll: "73% of the more than 1,000 Americans surveyed from June 26 to 29 said they favored offshore drilling for oil and natural gas in U.S. waters." (7/3/08)




68% Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg Poll: When all registered voters were asked whether they support increased exploration for oil and natural gas, 68% responded in the affirmative. (6/24/08)
67% Rasmussen Reports: "According to Rasmussen, 67 percent of Americans support oil drilling off the nation's coasts and 64 percent think it will lower gas prices." (The Hill, "The Briefing Room," 6/17/08)
60% Reuters/Zogby Poll: "Most Americans support more U.S. oil drilling ... Some 59.6 percent of Americans surveyed in the poll released on Wednesday said they would favor government efforts to boost domestic drilling and refinery construction to cool record prices." (Reuters, 6/18/08)
57% Gallup Poll: "Americans also support ... drilling in U.S. coastal and wilderness areas now off limits (57%)." (Gallup, 5/28/08)

there's nothing anyone can realistically do to bring down or keep low the price of petroleum over the long term. so stop complaining

[scflyer55]

so if we dont drill our own wells and keep buying everyone else's oil, the price will continue to go up , right?

work on a wood burning car bub

You are clueless, scflyer55. If 3 in 4 Americans think that drilling for oil off US coasts will help, they are horribly misinformed. Do the math yourselves people. The world consumes over 80 millions of barrels per day. Even if the optimistic value of 1 million barrels per day were added from domestic drilling which will come online in an optimistic 5 years, this will add an insignificant impact to world supplies, only profit to oil companies--it will be their oil not yours. Oil is a dead end.

Nuclear power is 20% of US electricity generation.

It is 76% in France and they're liberal as fuck.

Hydro is 6% in US.

Hydro is 66% in Canada and they're liberal as fuck.

Coal is 49% in US.

All we need is more nuclear for more power gen. But the libs don't give a fuck!

[Unclesamslair]

What? All I was saying is that drilling our own oil as well as many other things will only get us so far and are only temporary fixes. Oil production peaked in the United States in the 70's and global reserves are next. Reducing oil prices temporarily trough offshore drilling works for a political candidate that will only be in office for 2 or 4 years, but in 10 to 20 years there won't be anything anybody can do about oil prices. I'm just stating an undeniable eventuality

[magitinacopper]

Thank you very much!

...how am I a racist? I fail to see anything that hints at any sort of racism in my comments.

Youtube is the place for debate. You could have posted your brilliant "math" by now and proven me wrong. But you haven't.

[BrianRabil]

I have a great idea.

POST YOUR MATH!!

And no, Obama's quotes don't count as math. I just wanted to clear up the confusion.

I know exactly where you got your shit. You got it from Obama.

But how could we forget, the great messiah cannot tell a lie.
