Declare war on eco-barons Absolutely the most frequently voiced complaint from the American public is the high price of gasoline. These prices are because demand exceeds supply. As the world becomes more industrialized, the problem worsens, we place blame on politicians, big oil, the Mideast, etc. The solution is to increase supply by repairing and building more refineries, along with tapping our own oil supplies from the Gulf Coast, Pacific Coast and Alaska. Jobs will never return to the U.S. Certainly any foreign investment will be thwarted by the cost of energy. Alternative fuel sources are a nebulous concept, while causing problems such as higher food costs, deforestation, etc. The blame falls squarely on the shoulders of our environmentalist policies and people. This group would rather see our country become part of the Third World economically, than admit they were wrong or relinquish their power. Oil drilling can be done less invasively than it used to be. We must rid ourselves of many policies and power these eco-barons hold over us. Jim Fowler/Santa Maria
