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

AlexS, I would love to see any evidence for your belief that the position of the republican party and the Bush administration is not just Drill. Cripes, we're spending 10 billion a month fighting a war partly because that region is an important source of oil and we need control over it!
Republicans have always advocated subsidizing the oil business, and fought subsidizing alternative energy. That is historical fact and you shouldn't deny it just because oil prices have suddenly gone up in the last year and it now looks dumb. A year ago you wouldn't have seen any reason to support alternative energy and neither would your party, because it doesn't look ahead.
