The Dems by ideology and core group, (Greens) must be against drilling, oil shale, etc. They are left with arguing for new technologies and blaming our 'lifestyles.'
The Republicans on the other hand, find that their constituencies are demanding exploitation concurrent with incentives for inventing new technologies. Note that it was McCain that floated the idea of the government offering financial reward for the first to develop a new technology.
