-- the coal opec of the world. there are ways to get fuel to burn from that than from refineries. . why is it you want to get rid of all these cars? right now i could not afford to buy a new car. guest: a couple of things -- your choice is never going to be taken away. it is up to you whether you want to buy a used or new car. what this bill does is it creates a new incentive to get all rosales back up so we can put people back to work. the idea is what we want people working and pay taxes then drawing benefits, whether unemployment or whatever, trying to help the auto industry get through this. more than just the big three. toyota supported this, honda, mazda, and a number of other countries. you still maintain the right you have to drive whenever vehicle you want, whether it is a use for a new car. you are right on when you talk about coal and oil from tar sands and that kind of thing. i'm a big supporter of all of the above. we need to do it all. in my district in michigan this past week and gas went up to $2.95

personally i believe the market is being manipulated, obviously we know that opec has a cartel that quite openly minupulates the market and it's incredible the western governments don't have a body to stand up against opec. it's one of the biggest cartels in the world and it's there to drive up prices for all of us consumers in the west, yet there's very little done about it. but i also think oil prices are being manipulated in the market and that i would say that governments need to investigate why are oil prices at $60 today when they should logically be at 25 or 30 dollars maximum. oil is a wash in boats that are sitting around the world, it is -- demand has dropped. what is going on? are governments -- are governments of oil-producing countries buying positions from wall street to try to create a false market? i mean, it's just -- it certainly needs investigating. anyway, that's the short term. longer term, i think oil will go back, will go up, it's likely to in a normal marketplace it should steady at $70, something like that, and i think the world needs to realize that we are runnin

, and it's incredible that the western governments don't have a, a body to stand up against opec. it's one of the biggest, biggest cartels in the world, and it's there to drive up prices for all of us, all of us consumers in the west, and yet there's very little done about it. but i also think that oil prices are being manipulated actually in the market and that i would say that governments need to investigate, you know, why our oil price is at $60 today when they should logically be at 25, $30 maximum. oil is awash in boats sitting around the world, it's, you know, the demand for oil has dropped, and what's going on? you know, our governments, you know, our governments of oil-producing companies buying positions on wall street to try to create a fall market? you know, it certainly needs investigating. anyway, that's the short term. longer term i think oil will go back, will go up, and it's likely to, you know, it's likely in a normal marketplace it should sort of steady, you know, $70, something like that. and i think the world needs to realize that we are running out of oil and

but they get laid off every time a camel parts at an opec meeting. [laughter] maybe their pay is too high but it is not like they are getting back pay. so i think to understand what do with the american automobile cannot we have to give up on economics and a half to turn to melodrama. you see politicians, journalists, financial analysts and all the purveyors of the canal, they have been looking at cars sf in convertible were in business. it isn't. fire the nba's, hire a poet. afraid of detroit is not a higher prices of foreign competition and corporate greed, union intransigent energy costs or measuring the seuss size of the footprints in the carbon. it is a tragic romance, it is a tragic romance about an these passions of a titanic clash as, lost love and and while horses. especially wild horses because you cannot understand the automobile unless you understand horses. a hundred years ago richard kipling wrote a poem called the about of the kings just and a kipling has this afghan tribesmen from the u.s. always ahead of the curve on the board choose

in our country, that breaks with this pattern of cyclical dependence upon imported oil coming from opec that holds our nation hostage. i urge an aye vote on this bill.

of -- of course, is that most of the petroleum we import from foreign countries is not coming from opec, it's coming from canada. what's the problem? that oil we get from canada comes from tar sand. it's got a little sand in it. it causes a little increase of production of carbon dioxide a footprint that's more than conventional petroleum. that's all the amendment does, the gentleman from virginia, i support the amendment, but what we need to do is eliminate section 526 and i have an amendment that i signed on with the gentleman from texas, mr. hensarling, the gentleman -- the other gentleman from texas, mr. conaway, that's what we should have done that amendment should have been made in order. we need to eliminate section 526 and take the handcuffs off the department of defense. we're b duck -- we're talking about big bucks here. i yield back and do support the amendment. mr. connolly: i thank the support of my friend but i would clarify that we already have tar sand oil, about 6% of the gasoline supply of the united states already has it. we already have the liquefication of coal used

such that we would fix a national security problem we have which is great exposure to opec and its control of our oil markets. we would also create jobs by creating new industries in new kinds of technologies. and we'd clean up the air. the point that i was making in these meetings in greenville and spartanburg, even if you think climate change is hooey, still the small paragraph particular cue lats in coal would cause you to want to take action. the cleaner alternative of nuclear power will come to the market when the market says, oh, coal is now paying the full freight of its cost. if it is, nuclear becomes possible and we start building nuclear power plants. madam speaker, the key to this is getting the economics right. if we do that, we can fix this problem. but it starts with stopping this cab and trade because cap and trade isn't the way to fix this problem. the free enterprise system is the way to fix it and win the triple play this american century, we can improve the national security of the united states, we can create jobs, and we can clean up the air. madam speaker, i say we co

get rid of 5 million barrels of gasoline, which this bill would do, which we are now importing from opec companies, and free ourselves from -- from that addiction, if we can restrain global warming gases that are melting glaciers and threatening our coastline and killing our forest, and the trees are dying by the thousands of acres. we can do something about that. third, most importantly, we can get in the global race for these green collar clean energy jobs and that is what this bill will do. status quo is not good enough. host: we are talking to congressman jay inslee. on the republican line, you can call land -- host: congressman, you are member of the energy and commerce committee. you authored a lot of amendments that affected this legislation. we heard about cat and trade. what are some of the key components that are lesser known that you think are important? >guest: we tried to design a bill to take care of all the regions and industries and a military costs associated with going forward, and i think we were successful. number one, mike doyle and i added an amendment that would pr

made in america instead of continuing to import millions of barrels of oil a day that say, made by opec. this bill has the ambition of the moon landing, the moral imperative of the civil rights act and the scope of the clean air act all wrapped up in one. all we're hearing here this evening are the same discredited policies from the past that have got us into this economic national security and environmental situation that we live with today. vote no on this substitute and vote aye for the bill that we're considering. the gentleman from california has done an excellent job in bringing us to this point. vote no on this substitute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from virginia. mr. forbes: madam speaker, i'd like to yield one minute to the gentleman from south carolina, mr. inglis. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from south carolina is recognized for one minute. mr. inglis: i thank the gentleman for yielding. this is not the time for a tax increase. it's not the time for another wall street trading scheme and it's not the time to burden amer
