Hatch (R-Utah) today to-day introduced legislation to reduce gasoline prices through increasing the capacity ca-pacity of American oil refineries. re-fineries. "No one doubts that Utah consumers and businesses will face another long, hot summer of too high gas prices," Hatch said. "And a major refining bottleneck is a big part of the problem. The government does not produce or refine oil in this country, but it obstructs private pri-vate sector efforts to do so. While refiners would like to expand their capacity, they face prohibitive costs from regulations and other unfriendly un-friendly economic factors that make expanding very, very difficult." Hatch's bill, called the Refinery Re-finery Investment Tax Assistance As-sistance Act of 2007, would provide tax incentives to help lower the high economic eco-nomic hurdles to refinery capacity expansion. Hatch cited a AAA report that the rapid surge in gas prices is largely due to ongoing problems at the nation's oil refineries, and his bill would make it easier for refineries to address these problems. The bill would allow refiners refin-ers able to commit to installing install-ing new refining capacity before 2008 - and to building build-ing it by 2012 - to write-off 100 percent of the costs of the equipment in the first year rather than depreciating depreciat-ing them over 10 years. Moreover, the bill would allow refiners to depreciate the cost of other property over five years rather than ten years, which would allow al-low the Slug e investment involved in an expanded refinery to be recovered far more quickly. Countries like Saudi Arabia, India, and China - where fewer regulations makes building refineries much cheaper - are experiencing experi-encing a refining boom to quench the United States' energy thirst. If America doesn't act to increase its refining capacity, Hatch says, it will continue to lose ground to overseas competitors competi-tors and put itself at the mercy mer-cy of foreign economies. Perversion destroys Continued from page 3 from forming, produced over 8 million illegitimate children, created a pathetic underclass that will never achieve what we call the American dream, virtually destroyed our great cities cit-ies and spawned the social problems that flow from illegitimacy such as crime, drugs, delinquency and dropouts. ... "When the liberals whine about how the so-called Religious Right is 'imposing 'impos-ing its morals' on the rest of society, remember that they are like the thief who cries 'stop, thief to distract from his own thievery. Welfare is the prime example exam-ple of the Irreligious Left imposing its lack of morals on the rest of Society." The pathetic thing about this whole situation is that the group that now has a 70 percent illegitimacy rate, had a rate near the lowest low-est group before President Roosevelt started the New Deal welfare state programs pro-grams (AFDQ in the 1930s. Even up until 1960, before President Johnson and the DemocratSocialist Party instituted the "Great Society," Soci-ety," better defined as the "Great Moral Disaster," the 70 percent group had a rate of about 20 percent and the other groups had rates around 10 and 5 percent. Religious leaders have said for many years that Satan's greatest threat was to destroy the family. Satan is elated with what the DemocratSocialist Party's Par-ty's policies and programs have done to help him destroy de-stroy families. Talk about terrorism against, the family and America. Art Larson Springville Three dollar gas not iiigft enougli for Democrats Congressman Chris Cannon's (R-UT) amendment to defend the prerogative of Utahns to develop their own natural resources was defeated in the Resources Committee Com-mittee by a vote of 22 yeas and 26 nay s. Rich in oil shale deposits, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming Wyo-ming hold a conservative estimate of 2 trillion barrels of recoverable oil in the Green River formation. That is the equivalent of 1-2 times the total world crude oil reserves - triple the amount of oil reserves in Saudi Arabia. Two trillion barrels of oil is enough to meet the current U.S. demands for the next 200 or more years. After the vote, Congressman Cannon said, "Environmental "Envi-ronmental hysteria never lit one light bulb or heated a home. Evidently, $3 gasoline is not high enough for Democrats. Oil Shale development in Utah is not only a matter of consumer protection and state's rights." "In a post 911 world, the need to develop our own sources of oil is also a matter of national security. Today's To-day's vote was irresponsible. When this bill comes to the floor of the House, I will continue to work so Utahns can responsibly develop our own natural resources." 9 S.
