“While some of my colleagues may be content to demand Saudi Arabia fix our supply problems I would much rather we take our future in our own hands and start producing our own energy. Our plan would have the same effect on gas prices that my colleagues say their plan will have except it will be anywhere from 14 to 42 times more effective. That’s because our plan actually involves producing more energy ourselves rather than remain complacent in our dependence on foreign countries for energy.”
--U.S. Senator John Cornyn
