Democratic proposals for changing energy policy. Those call for:
— Ending billions of dollars in tax breaks for big oil companies.
— Forcing the oil companies to do their part by investing some of their profits in clean and affordable alternative energy.
— Protecting the American people from price gougers and greedy oil traders who manipulate the market.
— Temporarily stopping the diversion of oil to the national Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which is already 97 percent full.
— Standing up to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil-producing nations that are working together to keep oil prices high.

Ending "billions of dollars" of tax breaks will reduce oil prices? Sounds like a formula for higher prices
Forcing the oil companies to "do their part" How, with tax breaks?
Protecting the American people from "price gougers and greedy oil traders" Oil is an INTERNATIONAL commodity, how do you control this?
Stopping the diversion of oil to the national Strategic Petroleum Reserve. This is somewhat a good idea, until we have a oil embargo from one of the OPEC countries.
Standing up to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Yup we will all stand up and shake our collective fist at them. Really, they are powerful because we REFUSE to develop our VAST oil reserves that would directly challenge their control.
Forming a drum circle or singing "kum ba ya" will not solve our energy problem.
