Re: Democrats cut off tar sand from Canada, thanks!



You can expect the Democrats to cut-off or severly limit domestic fuel
produced from coal and shale for the same reasons they are limiting oil from
tar sands of Canada. Creating motor fuel from shale or coal produces about
50% more "earth-killing" emissions than producing the fuel from oil.

Amid all the media hysteria over the price of gasoline and the profits of
"Big Oil," one simple fact has been repeatedly overlooked: The oil
companies' earnings are just under 10 percent of the price of a gallon of
gas, while taxes take 17 percent. Yet who ever accuses the government of
"greed"?
