Democrats Block Energy Bill Allowing Building Of New Refineries
And for you North Dakota readers, our Representative Earl Pomeroy voted against it as well.
House Republicans pushed the No More Excuses Energy Act to the floor through a discharge petition. The Act would have eliminated barriers to building new refineries in the United States along with instituting other measures to generally make it easier to produce gasoline domestically.
Democrats voted it down because apparently they don’t think we have a problem with gas prices in this country. Or, at least, they aren’t very serious about fixing that problem.
