Why Democrats Are to Blame for High Gas Prices

American Thinker lists the top ten reasons why Democrats are to blame for soaring gas prices. The article by William Tate notes such reasons as these:

ANWR - Bill Clinton vetoed the bill to allow drilling in ANWR in 1995. Had he signed the bill, we would have an additional million barrels of oil per day, reducing gas prices by 50 cents a gallon.

Coastal drilling - Democrats have consistently opposed drilling off of U.S. coasts, leaving it to the Chinese for exploitation, who are slant drilling 50 miles off of our coasts.

Nuclear power - Dems have not allowed new nuclear plant construction since 1977. France, by comparison, now produces 79% of its power from nuclear plants, with more on the way. France is now an exporter of cheap electrical energy.
