Thank you, from bottom of my tank

Thank you, from bottom of my tank

Each time I fill up my car. I thank those who helped raise gas prices to current levels. My grateful praise goes out to:

• Politicians and environmentalists who limit the domestic oil supply by restricting drilling both offshore and in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge.

• The corporate lobbyists who promoted and the politicians who mandated ethanol, raising world food prices.

• Those who oppose new refineries, raising our reliance on imported oil.

• The “no nuke” lobby for stopping the construction of nuclear plants, unlike France with its 80 percent reliance on this clean, economical energy source.

• The politicians and bureaucrats who mandate unreliable and uneconomical energy sources, such as solar and wind power, while restricting proven reliable technologies that provide energy 24/7.

• Individuals and politicians who believe they can mandate technological solutions and believe they created the Internet, the Toyota Prius and the cellphone.

• And last but not least, my fellow voters who elect those politicians who created this situation rather than demand they lift restrictions on building refineries and nuclear plants and let the market create the solutions. - Charles Williams, Phoenix
