House Approves New Drilling In Alaska
 

"(AP) The House on Thursday night endorsed oil drilling in an Alaska wildlife refuge, setting up a likely confrontation with the Senate as Congress struggles to produce a comprehensive energy policy.

An attempt to strip a House energy bill of a provision that would allow development of the refuge's oil was turned back by a 228-197 vote. Drilling opponents argued more oil could be saved with higher auto fuel economy requirements than the refuge could produce.

Earlier, the House rejected a proposal to require a 5 percent reduction in fuel used by motor vehicles, including SUVs and pickup trucks, within seven years. Opponents to the measure said it would force automakers to make small cars."

I post what I find interesting to see what others have to say about the subject. Here is a suggestion for you...don't read threads that you do not have an interest in. You can thank me later.

Another piece of the puzzle. Republicans fuck the world, the economy and nature to make more money for the people who paid for them getting elected.
