Why "Drill, Baby, Drill!" Does Not Translate Into Effective National Energy Policy

Drill Baby Drill, may not be very poetic but it sure seems necessary. Until you can stick some french fry grease or a hunk of coal into your gas tank we are gong to need petroleum. The transition period from petro to alternatrive sources of "car power" will be long and costly. Let the transition go forward with all due haste, but during the interim we should not be paying $x per gallon for gas when there is oil to be had by drilling, thus making the cost to consumer somewhat less than $x, probably considerably less.
