The tornado — spawned by storms that also killed at least 16 people in Missouri and Georgia — could be the ultimate incentive for those 800 or so residents who have been reluctant to leave, said John Sparkman, head of the local housing authority.

First it went from $60 to $80 a barrel, then from $80 to $100 and now to $120. Perhaps we can persuade OPEC to raise production, as some senators suggest; but this seems unlikely. The truth is that we're almost powerless to influence today's prices. We are because we didn't take sensible actions 10 or 20 years ago. If we persist, we will be even worse off in a decade or two. The first thing to do: Start drilling.Thu, 01 May 2008 04:00:00 GMThttp://www.jiminhofe.com/News/Read.aspx?guid=4affd12b-5368-44b6-8587-c8e1c6a4fc67Today, U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) praised the overall results of the Senate Armed Services Committee “Markup” of the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2009.

James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, today joined with Senate Republicans to introduce common sense legislation to address the skyrocketing costs of energy prices on Oklahoman and American families. Rather than raise taxes, block production, increase regulations, and call for investigations, the Domestic Energy Production Act of 2008 actually addresses the nation’s current energy crunch by delivering real energy solutions. It would increase access to domestic supplies, expand the nation’s refinery capacity, and promote market-based alternatives for our energy future. Importantly, the bill includes key provisions of Senator Inhofe’s Gas Petroleum Refiner Improvement & Community Empowerment Act of 2007 (Gas PRICE Act), legislation that is designed to improve the permitting process for the expansion of existing and construction of new refineries.Thu, 01 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT
