''Congress Hits Big Oil On Renewable Energy''

...with what? cotton-candy? Every time the public starts getting too restless, Congress holds ''hearings''. Well, that and $5 will get you large, fancy coffee.

Make them invest in public transportation so we can get out of our automobiles.

Useless, useless government.

Meaningless,empty,political dancing in front of the camera. They will do what they do so well, absolutely nothing.........

Congress started this ball rolling back when they let Exxon buy Mobil. The oil industry knows how to plan ahead...

Congrees just talks to the oil companies but does not do anything probably because their pockets are weighed down by the all the money funnelled into to them by said oil companies. The U.S. government could do something but it''s not a crisis yet, like the housing market, and banks are making big profits over the high oil prices set by speculators who have only thier interest and the banks in mind not the people who have to live with them. Most other conuntries the government controls the oil companies not the other way around.

Wonder if/when oil prices will get high enough that it''s no longer favorable to ship lead from China?

This article''s title is "Congress Hits Big Oil On Renewable Energy"

Precisely what does "hit" mean? Scold? Berate?

Without teeth, this means nothing, therefore congress has done - nothing.
