"we are at the mercy of many unstable energy producers who hate our freedoms and religion"

This is my representative. I don't know whether to hang my head in shame or collapse on the floor in a fit of laughter.

Do you think OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) would drop their prices the next day — the very next day — if they know that Americans are serious about using our own resources and in an environmentally friendly way? ... That’s why I’m carrying the No More Excuses Act,” Davis, R-Tenn., told Republicans attending the Sullivan County GOP Reagan Day Dinner last Saturday night.

Davis, a freshman incumbent who is seeking re-election, became one of more than 40 co-sponsors of the bill last month, and he talks about its promise throughout the 1st Congressional District.

But the bill’s prime sponsor is U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, according to Congress’ Web site.

The legislation appears to be one indicator of the vast differences between Republicans and Democrats on energy policy.

“The No More Excuses Energy Act approaches our energy crisis by increasing all types of energy production here in the United States,” Davis said. “Until we begin to produce more energy here at home in the United States, we are at the mercy of many unstable energy producers who hate our freedoms and religion. The No More Excuses Energy Act is exactly how it sounds — no more excuses for high gasoline prices.”

The bill’s highlights include encouraging new refinery construction by requiring the Internal Revenue Service to take action to allow tax-exempt bonds to be used for construction of certain refineries; extending through 2018 the tax credit for producing electricity from wind facilities; and allowing tax credits for the production of electricity from nuclear energy.

The bill also requires the president to designate at least 10 sites for oil or natural gas refineries on federal lands and make such sites available to the private sector for construction of refineries.

I'm hoping he'll lose re-election, but I'm not holding my breath.
