Anti-drilling stance harms Americans

How can politicians from either party, who claim to want to help poor or average Americans, continue to oppose drilling for oil and natural gas?

It will take about 20 years to convert our automobile fleet to hybrid, natural gas, electric (plug-in and solar) or hydrogen energies. What does the average or poor American drive in the meantime? These same politicians, at times, oppose wind, solar and the electric grid required to distribute electricity, because of aesthetics!

We need debate and solutions, not obstructionism. Why didn’t Congress vote on an energy plan before it adjourned?
