The green / environmental lobby has long sought to reduce our use of fossil fuels in order to reduce air pollution.  But even though great strides have been made reducing air pollution, the environmentalists have now raised the bar exponentially by adding CO2 to what is considered to be air pollution.  This unending pressure to use less fossil fuel has motivated many in congress to prefer scarcity and high price of fossil fuel in order to discourage its use.  If they can't get us to use less oil by asking us, they can see to it that we can't afford to use it.  They always point to Europe and lecture us about how we have it too good because our fuel prices are so low compared to Europe.  They would love to have $7-10 per gallon gasoline in the U.S. except they would want the price to be inflated by taxes rather than by income to the oil producers as is the case today.  So a big part of the reason for high gas prices is the fact a lot of people in congress, and their constituents, want high gas prices.  And because they want high gas prices, they don't want our oil companies drilling for oil and bringing new supplies on line.  Therefore, to support their argument against new oil supply and the resulting lower price, they tell us the following things:1)   Drilling for oil won't lower the price for a long, long time.  2)   When it does finally lower the price, it won't be enough to matter.3)   There is not much oil to find anyway.4)   Oil companies should not be allowed to drill in new areas because they are not drilling in all the areas they already have. Their agenda is pretty danged transparent if you ask me.
