Why "Drill, Baby, Drill!" Does Not Translate Into Effective National Energy Policy [View article]
The information is useful, but I think you're attacking a straw man. I don't know of any Republican politician who thinks drilling is the only solution. The "drill" line is simply a slam against those who use ideology in place on pragmatism on energy. The Boehner plan, which most Republicans support, is an "all of the above solution". Do everything possible to increase energy production: nuclear, wind, coal, solar, tidal, oil, hydro, natural gas, biofuels, etc.
I could write an article about how solar is not the solution, tidal is not the solution, wind is not the solution, natural gas is not the solution, etc. (I'm not sure that nuclear and coal couldn't single handedly provide the nation's energy needs.) Isolating any energy will show that it can't solve the problem.
