Secretary Salazar, are you listening?

Since Congress lifted the offshore drilling ban in 2008, Washington has been sitting on its hands and not moving forward. We dropped off over 90,000 comments in favor of drilling to get them moving. Now the ball is in Sec. of Interior Salazar's court.

Proper US Energy policy: Everything, everywhere in the USA.

Drill Baby Drill..!!

It seems that BP didnt like this too much....

Who are the influential people who helped create the energy crisis in the first place Gingrich and Haley blame? Is it Bush, Cheney, Halliburton, Enron, Exxon Mobil, Peabody Coal, Tom DeLay, John McCain, hedge-fund speculators, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich himself, or others in the conservative elite who have profited from skyrocketing energy prices and prevented change while American families suffered?

Nope! The villians in Newtland are anti-energy, left-leaning politicians.

[TheFactCheckdotorg]

These influential people — many of them the very same individuals who helped create the energy crisis in the first place — have little compassion for the suffering of their fellow countrymen.

[TheFactCheckdotorg]

another economisist had this to say;

Newts book oozes with false sympathy for working Americans:

The suffering of Americans due to high energy prices is bad enough. But theres more: powerful people believe that Americans — everyday folks just trying to earn a living, feed their families, and help others — are actually the root cause of the energy crisis.

this economisist had this to say;

Republicans passed a comprehensive energy bill in 2005. Upon signing, President Bush said:

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 is going to help every American who drives to work, every family that pays a power bill, and every small business owner hoping to expand.

Instead it helped oil companies reach record profits, while using their ample cash flow to buy back stock and pay dividends. Newts a tool

now who would like to look up how book deals newt has been involved in!

heres another,

This book would be more appropriately titled Fork Over $14.95, You Dope! My advice is to save your money. Youll need every penny before Big Oil lets you go!

[TheFactCheckdotorg]

and this critique,

Its a simplistic work that didnt take long to read. As you might expect, its another disconnected, finger-pointing rant promoting the latest GOP slogan binge pinch-hitting in lieu of responsible energy policy. The text is basically a regurgitation of the same tired nonsense you can hear for free repeated ad nauseam from slippery, Oil-funded politicians and their propaganda lackeys in the media.

[TheFactCheckdotorg]

read what the economisist say about the book then!

Gingrichs toxic rhetoric will leave the world-wise reader with a truly disturbing thought: will this short-sighted inanity actually become national policy? If, God forbid, that should come to pass, sadly, our children and grandchildren, and their children and grandchildren will be the ones getting drilled!

[TheFactCheckdotorg]

lol maybe you should read the book first!

"This is not classic Newt where the subject would have been well researched and make for interesting reading. Instead it is clouded with political overtones of attacking the opposite side and prevents reaching an objective of solving environmental concerns and energy independence with a unified front. Shame on you, Newt for creating such a bomb. It's just tired rhetoric done hurriedly and soooo repetitive. Ho, Hum! "
