This isn't a liberal vs conservative issue alone. There's been a good number of conservatives against a lot of offshore drilling for instance, particularly in the Gulf. Go ask Jeb
And the reason we don't have new refineries is because industry was trashing this great country 50 years ago. Let them build again and you get more health and environmental issues. This is a bigger problem than just writing new legislation.
Liberals love expensive energy? Now that's a new one...If anything conservatives should be loving high energy costs as it's the only thing that's going to push industry to innovate and get our economy moving.
Drilling in ANWAR will probably happen, as will the Gulf, but unless we want the government to sieze production all we're doing is adding more the global supply, and global supply isn't the big issue at the moment.
