Got Gas? (Part II)

Not that this was unpredictable...we will now hear the energy industry atempt to "turn" the high gas prices (which increases profits to oil companies) into a "NEED" for an energy bill which also increases profits and perks for the oil industry.

The White House has gleefully jumped into industry corner yesterday. I love that McCullen admits they have been trying to use every opportunity to pass the bill for thier energy buddies.....When gas prices were low we tried to pop open the Artic Refuge, when there was a blackout (caused by no regulation, voluntary standards and human error in an energy compant) we tried to pass the bill, when there was a war, when we got into office........now, gas prices are soaking American economy ...again, we propose to give perks to our friends in the energy industry....see a trend?

MR. McCLELLAN: John, the President believes, like Americans do, the gas prices are too high. That's why we need a comprehensive energy plan, to address this problem that continues to come up every year. I think we've gone through this every year from this podium during this administration.

... It was a comprehensive plan. It would also modernize our electricity grid. And this was an important plan.

Get ready, the energy industry really wants the energy bill to pass and they are going to ramp up the fight in the weeks ahead to punch it through Congress.
