Rep. Blunt: "Energy Certainly Dominates Every Discussion."

July 23, 2008

House Republican Whip Roy Blunt tells Newsmax correspondent Ashley Martella that energy is the single most discussed issue everywhere he goes. His energy strategy is "find more, choose less, invest in the future." He says the U-S is the only country in the world that sees its energy resources "as an environmental hazard, not an economic opportunity and we're paying the price for that right now." He thinks chances "are close to zero" that Speaker Pelosi will allow a vote on drilling, noting she has a 20 year record of opposing it.
