It is symbolic politics. Meanwhile Inhofe has attacked and caused his political allies to attack three major bills or regulations, all of which would make a big difference in the demand for gas. We have all this gas and we are not using enough of it. See the price for proof. No matter attacks on all the key measures to use more gas just keep coming from "friends" of the industry.john hangerhttp://www.johnhanger.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664957094233317169.post-15887127757968931132012-03-30T14:13:27.011-04:002012-03-30T14:13:27.011-04:00John: I tend to view Sen.

This example of legislation he introduced yesterday is consistent with his approach, arguing that current state standards for hydraulic fracturing are effective. This could be viewed as a pro-natural gas bill, but I think it is really stating his principle against federal regulations: http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Minority.PressReleases&ContentRecord_id=5b3a5418-802a-23ad-45d7-fc3874ced3a4&Region_id=&Issue_id=Carbon Blacknoreply@blogger.com
