A Lesson For Congressional Democrats

Want to know what happens when you open up new areas for energy exploration?

Someone finds some.

Ands it's not a hoax.

 Hess Corp., the fifth-biggest U.S. oil company, found natural gas off the northwest coast of Australia, its second discovery since starting drilling in the country's most-expensive exploration permit.

The problem with Congressional Democrats is that they see the current energy crisis as a means to further their environmental agenda. They know full well that drilling for more oil and gas will result in there being more oil and gas. More oil and gas would mean lower prices and the crisis goes away. If the crisis goes away - they will have a harder time selling their alternative energy pipe dreams.

They want the crisis to continue and even worsen. They have to push the cost of oil and gas high enough to make their alternatives economically viable. Drilling kills that dream.

It's time for Congress to get the hell out of the way and let the people clean up this mess.
