New Voice Heard!
Wow! It's Andrew F. Adams. Does anyone want to guess what his topic is?
Bush bad? No way! Unheard of!
You probably already know about opening up the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, but you may not know that we won’t see any of that oil for 10 years. So instead of getting a much-needed drop in prices now, you will have to wait until 2015 to see one drop of that gas.
OMGZORS!!!! No instantaneous infrastructure!!! What's up with that!!! Using this standard, we can never engage in a plan which will help us only 10 years down the road. Which makes one wonder why Mr. Adams seems to support renewable energy development.
One provision creates complete immunity from cleanup costs for all makers of MTBE, an additive to gasoline. Apparently, the makers knew that it could leak into groundwater and caused cancer in studies but did nothing to stop it. And now, under the Energy Bill, they will not have to pay any for any of the cleanup for their underground tanks, and will actually be paid $1.75 billion to cover transition costs as MTBE is phased out by 2014.
I wonder if he remembers why they started adding MTBE in the first place.
