“Announcing the Democrats’ bold new ‘plan’ on energy last week, Pelosi said breaking into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve ‘is one alternative.’ That's not an energy plan. It's using what we already have — much like ‘conservation,’ which is also part of the Democrats' plan.

Conservation, efficiency and using oil we hold in reserve for emergencies does not get us more energy. It's as if we were running out of food and the Democrats were telling us: ‘Just eat a little less every day.’ Great. We'll die a little more slowly. That's not what we call a ‘plan.’

We need more energy, not a plan for a slower death.”
