it is business as usual for Congress today. Democrats are bemoaning the rising energy prices, while Republicans are looking for solutions. Democrats have done a lot of complaining about energy prices, but when it comes to offering ideas and solutions and ways to get out of this, they are noticeably silent. Time and time again, Republicans have offered solutions to our Nation's energy crisis. We will have two bills up just this week. But the Democrats continue to say no. No to renewable fuels and nuclear energy, no to opening up resources in the ANWR, no to refineries, no to pipelines, no to cracking down on price gouging, no to a comprehensive energy policy. Mr. Speaker, it is time the Democrats realize that no is not an energy policy. Democrats want a campaign issue; Republicans want a solution. Republicans once again are offering the American people a clear choice; Democrats, obstruction. ____________________
