We're gonna dril more than just democrats

The End of Greenism?
AWK

The argument goes that, yes, Jummy Carter was so bad that he made Reagan possible.  Indeed, but the cost of Carter's contribution to the nation came at a huge cost.  So huge that no single presidency could undo the harm. So huge that we are only just beginning to really feel the consequences of his occupation of the Oval Office.  But, sometimes a little pain is called for, and with it comes an actual salutary thing-a-ma-bob.
It hasn't quite hit the radar of the liberals in Congress, but as the price of gasoline soars above $4 a gallon (and here in California it's closing in on $5), they're going to be facing a hard choice with no good options.They will be forced to (a) throw the Greens under the bus, and embrace the idea of drilling for oil in America, in ANWR, off the coasts, wherever it may be found, or (b) throw the U.S. economy under the bus, and lose the November election to a Republican landslide, no matter who their candidate is.

If, that is,John McCain can be persuaded to see the light, come to his senses, and make a prime time speech in which he apologizes for being wrong about global warming and climate change, has learned that CO2 is not the enemy, that humans have no identifiable effect on climate, which has always been changing, and humans cannot stop it; and that it is far more important to produce enough energy from all sources, nuclear, geothermal, solar, wind, oil, and coal, than to go tilting at the windmills of Greenism to stop the unstoppable climate change, which is entirely natural and organic. [But wait - THERE'S MORE]
That any man so stupid, or so cynical as to go with the man made climate hoax could become president is a monstrous notion, but there you have it.  Play with the hand dealt you, and drill, drill, drill.

Heh, is that Sally Ewing on that bike? Nothing wrong with her that ten laps a day around the barnyard, and a smack on the ass couldn't cure.

I already agreed with most of what Raymond Kraft has to say, in my comments a while back, but I am still in favor of cellulose ethanol from waste vegetation, NOT food grains such as corn.I also believe that massive cellulose factories are not the answer because of the transportation costs to get the raw material to the site.Small manufacturers are called for to produce alchohol at the closest to the raw (waste)material. Ethanol is never going to be anything but a part of the mix and EVERYTHING has to be included.Every energy source must be put into play to save our economy and to reduce dependence on imported oil.When I consider the billions of dollars being send overseas to buy oil, the profits from which finance the killing of our own people, I gain a spot in my heart for tax breaks for any company that invests and constructs to produce ANY type of energy to reduce that outflow of our wealth.

If somebody built a facility in my neck of the woods to produce energy, of whatever sort,wind,solar,ethanol from waste, drilling for oil/natural gas,nuclear, or recovered cooking grease or turning pig shit into methane, and creating jobs while reducing our dependence, he's got my blessing.More than a useless blessing though would be tax breaks if the guy sees himself losing money on the operation every year.....We need the jobs and we need to keep our energy dollars here at home....Every time I think about the people that we are supporting with our cash in return for their oil, I erupt into a boil you could melt lead in.

According to "but wait, there's more" oil supplies within America, it reminds me of that joke where some guy is in need of saving and evertime someone comes by offering assistance he declines, "No thanks, God will save me." Duh! No thanks, Green will save me.

Just how spoiled, stupid, and demanding do we appear to other oil producing countries? We're perfectly able to provide for ourselves and yet we're begging for the crumbs from another's table. All the while Liberalism believes the higher the gas price, the less people drive 'Global Warming Vehilcles' replaced by the bicycle. Except, of course, for themselves. Always in the name of "the greater good." Ah! The insanity!

Mrs. Batman, VaJayJay, Greenism....
What's up Rodger? Is June 10th Celebrate the Ugly Day? *ralph*

I'm going camping. No cells or wi-fi. See you this weekend, have fun! ;-)

From the snow of far off northern lands,
to the sunny tropic scenes;
we should tap our oil resources
and render out the fat-assed Greens

A point not made often enough: The Greens are at least as concerned about the environmental aspect of drilling as they are about burning the product. Americans are going to drive their cars, even with fuel prices up as they are. So, where to get the gas?

If Americans drill under American safeguards with American technicians, the harm to planet Earth is much less than it is in say Nigeria, Iran, or Venezuela. Not to mention the hazards of a Chinese coalmine.

There are 5000 rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, all of which did not leak during any of the recent hurricanes. We haven't had a real disaster since 1979.

ANWR is the size of New England. The area directly affected by planned drilling is a sixth the size of Dulles airport, as George Will likes to point out.
