I actually quoted that in support of her.

What the Reps and Bush would love is to expand the already large lease they have on land off shore so that there IS more oil to pump, and at higher costs, means higher profits of said oil being pumped out.

And, it STILL doesnt make a single refinery get an upgrade. It still doesnt allow a new one to be built!
And we STILL will be stuck on OIL!! WHICH IS THE WHOLE ****ING REASON THAT WE ARE IN THIS MESS!! University of Georgia just discoverd how to increase ethanol yeild on switchblade and crabgrass 10 fold without using dangerious chemicals.
Where is the goverments interest in this? Why were Ethanol flex fuel vehicles left out of any CAFE requirements? Why is the goverment turning its back on a source of fuel that America could sell for PROFIT and be energy independant!!! What oil we pump from off the coast now, plus what we get from Mexico and Canada could help give us what little fuel we need to mix in with the Ethanol.
Costs to update cars to Ethanol would be a few hundred bucks compared to hybrid and diesel cars.

Lots of ideas out there, nothing being done. Repubs want to drill for more oil, Dems want to throw up wind towers. There is no middle ground.
