Harry Reid moves to ensure a return to $4.50 a gallon gasoline prices
Harry Reid is moving to lock up millions of acres of land by returning to a Clinton-era trick: designating the land as a "federal wilderness".
It’s hard to pinpoint the worst part of the public lands legislation bill Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is calling up for an under-the-radar Sunday vote.
The 1200-page, pork-laden, $10 billion proposal locks up millions of acres of energy-rich property by designating it as environmentalist-friendly “federal wilderness” area where not even as much as a bicycle would be permitted to travel across the land. Many of these areas recently became available when the ban on domestic drilling in Western states expired last fall and the liberal left couldn’t muster the courage to keep it in place due to rising energy prices. Now Democratic leaders are using different legislative strategies to put a new kind of ban in place.
Clinton made a similar move to lock up low-sulfur coal-bearing regions as a payback to Indonesian financial backers who had their own coal to sell.
You only have to look to one place to find the major political cause of higher energy prices: Democrat politicians.
