How Much Will Gas Cost in 2016?

Posted by: Rob Bluey In: Business| Capitol Hill

My colleagues Bill Beach and Shanea Watkins have put together an outstanding interactive map that tells you the price of gasoline in your state in 2016 if the Senate energy bill is enacted. When I scrolled over Virginia to see what the price would be 11 years from now, I was alarmed to see it projected at $6.19 per gallon. That’s more than double the $2.99 I paid on Sunday.

The map alone should scare enough senators into voting against the bill, but if you remain unconvinced, Beach and Watkins have put together this report detailing even more reasons why the bill will raise gas prices. It’s a good follow-up to Ben Lieberman’s paper and video on why the bill is bad for consumers.

Where is the best place in D.C. to watch the fireworks? The @Heritage rooftop, of course. http://yfrog.com/5ae36xj

Just saw two helicopters flying over Thurmont, MD. I wonder if the Obamas are visiting Camp David?

What idiot decided it was a good idea to do road work on the George Washington Parkway midday Friday? http://yfrog.com/15rsjj

@MelissaTweets Nope, I'm in Atlanta. Don't think there's a Chick-fil-A at Reagan.

Took a detour to terminal A. Nothing is better than a Chick-fil-A chicken biscuit for breakfast. http://yfrog.com/0vgjyj
