More Energy, Please!

The Weekly Standard has some interesting poll information that confirms what we've known for quite some time:

As House Democrats set their sights on producing a new energy and climate change bill by Memorial Day, voters tell Rasmussen they support increasing supply versus reducing demand by about a two-to-one margin. When asked, “Which is more important, finding new sources of energy or reducing the amount of energy Americans consume,” voters choose “new sources” over “reducing consumption” 60 percent-32 percent. Republicans choose more supply over reduced demand by a 71 percent-24 percent margin. Independents are right behind, opting for increased supply 63 percent-25 percent. Democrats also pick increasing supply, although by a narrower seven-point margin (50 percent-43 percent).

A slim majority of Americans also believes more nuclear power plants should be built in the U.S. Overall 51 percent say yes, while 31 percent say no.

It's too bad that Democrats are in charge - they have a perfect record of opposing precisely what Americans want on this issue.

Get used to it - when Democrats run the show, Americans don't get a voice. Or a paycheck, or increased energy production, or national security, or...

There's my two cents.
