HR 6384 - The Authors of this bill are nuts-o

Look up the full text here

This bill is nuts. I read as much as I could (sadly, I don't have all day), and I was scared of how much freedom it gives to oil companies to drill where ever they want regardless of what we or the Federal government wants. It says that no federal agency can create any corridor for environmental or transportation purposed that would get in the way of oil drilling?

This is weird, if anyone has anymore info please let me know.

I don't get it. Right now, today, you can order a Prius that, with and aftermarket add-on (added at the factory) will get you 120mpg! In ten years I PROMISE you most cars will be electric. In fact in 5 years every car company will have full electric cars that don't use fuel. There are over 30 car companies racing to that finish line right now.

It will take TEN years for any off-shore oil to make it to your or China's gas tanks.

But by then the demand should drop quite a bit. I understand we will still need oil for all sorts of reasons. As oil jobs wain other industries will take their place. I just don't get why we are rushing to give oil companies complete right-of-ways to drill where ever they want. Where's the control?

Why are they doing this? Because it is an election year and both candidates of the faux 2-party system are in bed with big oil interests. And they know that you are all scared of high oil prices and during this scare everyone will be willing to give up more land to oil.

Thoughts?
