Congressman Roy Blunt compiled the following data to highlight the differences between House Republicans and House Democrats on energy policy:

ANWR Exploration - House Republicans: 91% Supported, House Democrats: 86% Opposed

Coal-to-Liquid - House Republicans: 97% Supported, House Democrats: 78% Opposed

Oil Shale Exploration - House Republicans: 90% Supported, House Democrats: 86% Opposed

Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Exploration -House Republicans: 81% Supported, House Democrats: 83% Opposed

Refinery Increased Capacity - House Republicans: 97% Supported, House Democrats: 96% Opposed
