The drill baby drill mantra drives (drills?) me nuts... I can accept some short term version of Nat Gas, but oil has got to go!!!!
Yeah, "this great nation" (Paylin-speak ;-) has @ 45 of the worlds reserves & uses @ 25% of the worlds energy. It can't last w/o more wars. Conservatives don't seem to want to own up to the fact that wars are expensive. They also don't seem to want to go anywhere near closing loop-holes & subsidies for Big Oil.
So what do you plan on replacing fossil fuels with when you make them illegal?
I'd like to remind you once again there is no Magic Energy.
Please don't make them think too hard.
I'm enjoying the $100/bbl oil prices and continued dependence on Venezuelan and Mexican crude their collective stupidity is causing:
A proposed pipeline that would ferry Canadian crude oil to Texas refineries has run afoul of the recharged federal push to protect minorities and the poor from an overburden of pollution.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says the pipeline plan doesn't evaluate the potential health impacts on Port Arthur, where one fork of the pipeline will end

Beginning to build the pipeline before 2012 would create create jobs that would put a dent in unemployment: I wouldn't want Obama to stop shooting himself in the foot. So let's not be so hasty to criticize the moronic dogma of the enviro-wackos.
