viewing how ever, "business as usual" a member of congress has
decided that he needs to spend more of the tax payers money to fly
down and see for him self.

Perhaps he plans to use all his hot air to reinflate the salt dome
that is collapsing.

Congress answer to everything, throw money at it and it will go
away.
Or instead of determining the problem, (Gas and Oil industry) tax
their profits... How about allowing them to freakin DRILL!!!! God,
I
hate our government! Vote all the asses out!!!!

Drill where?

There's ANWR, an area the size of SC where they would create an oil field
the size of NYC's Central Park and contains billions of barrels of oil.
There's the Gulf Coastline, not drilling there is not going to prevent
environmental risks, since Cuba is beginning drilling on their side.
Offshore west coast. Develop the oil shale/sands in CO, WY, Dakotas.
Additional fields in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico that were not
economically viable at $30 a barrel oil but now seem cheap at $125 oil.

Here's a quote from a decade old report: "During the 1970's and 80's,
exploration effort focused on finding billion-barrel fields -- fields of
less than several hundred million barrels were considered uneconomic at
anything less than the inflated prices of the early 1980's. Only a few
fields were discovered that fulfilled the apparent size requirements.
However, today, accumulations as small as 50 million barrels are considered
to be of economic interest."
