High fuel costs got you down?

Getting tired of having to empty your wallet every time you fill your gas tank? Does the price of heating oil next fall/winter worry you? (Better hope Al Gore and the Global Warming crowd are spot on if it does, cause if the Lazy Ole Sun and its lack of sunspots yields colder weather—ooh boy howdy!—are we gonna be paying through the nose!)

So, just who do we blame for the lack of fuel? The guys at Powerline have a handy post from a week ago that we all need to keep in mind come November. (I’ll give you a clue as to the answer before you go over and read their post: It ain’t the folks with the elephant as a mascot.)

If we had started building nuke plants and drilling in our own back yard 10 years ago, we might not be able to tell OPEC to go suck eggs, but the pump prices wouldn't be quite so high and neither would we be looking at higher food and electric costs.
