Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial:

Given that reducing energy consumption would be a good way to cripple the U.S. economy, wouldnโ€™t it make more sense to โ€” just thinking off the top of our heads here โ€” build more refineries, and open likely new oil fields to drilling?
Good heavens. If thatโ€™s true, could that mean George Bush and the โ€œevil oil menโ€ are the ones whoโ€™ve been telling the truth, while itโ€™s Harry Reid and the Democrats who are โ€œlying to the American peopleโ€?
