I don't know about you but I am sick of OPEC. I am also sick of the do nothing congress that is beholding to the environmental whacko's of this country.

We have many nuclear electrical power producing plants in the U.S. All of them have been operating for years without incident and since the last one was built many improvements and technologies have come along which can make them even safer and cleaner. Electricity can be produced from nuclear energy for less than $.04 (Four cents for those of you who are decimally challenged)per kilowatt. With the current cost of electricity produced from oil or coal, about $.11 per kilowatt, it costs $60.00 per barrel to get oil from oil shale. The shale has to be heated to 650 to 700 degrees to get the oil from the shale. This heat could easily be a free byproduct of a nuclear power plant. Your stupid congress (currently run by liberal Democrats) doesn't care enough about America to get off their collective butts and get it done.

We have enough oil in the shale in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming to furnish all of our needs for more than 400 years without any imports from the middle east, Russia, Venezuela, Mexico, or Canada. Out of all of those producers the only one's who are our friends are the Canadians. All the rest of them would like to see us dry up and blow away.

We need some new leadership. Liberalism and leadership are mutually exclusive. Liberal leader is an oxymoron.

Every one of them is lambasting the oil companies for our problems. Under the current laws it would take 13 to 15 years to get all the permits in place to build a new state of the art refinery at a cost of a mere $20,000,000,000.00. No smart businessman or woman in their right mind would spend 20 billion dollars and 15 years to get a 7.5% return on investment which is the current return on investment for the oil companies.

We need more refineries and we need the oil out of that shale. The federal government should be doing everything in their power to help in getting the job done instead of doing every thing in their power to stop the job from getting done.
