Democratic National Committee Press Secretary Stacie Paxton. "Time and again, Republicans in Washington have had an opportunity to offer a real energy policy to the American people but instead have chosen to side with their friends in the industry. The American people want change, not more of the same failed Bush policies that have led to gas prices reaching an average of $3 a gallon and done nothing to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Democrats remain committed to stopping price gouging and enacting a comprehensive energy policy that makes America energy independent by 2020. Together, America can do better."
Now? Not a peep, the election is over.Pass some feel good do nothing legislation (CLEAN), then anounce the problem solved, "just trust us wait and see". No need for the media to fear monger the masses anymore.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. average retail gasoline prices rose due to reduced U.S. refinery capacity and strong demand, according to an industry analyst on Sunday.
The national average for self-serve regular unleaded gas was $2.789 a gallon on April 6, up about 18.23 cents per gallon in the past two weeks, according to the nationwide Lundberg survey of about 7,000 gas stations.
This was 24 cents below the all-time high of $3.03 on August 11, 2006 and about 12 cents above the average price a year ago.
