Thanks to our boneheaded environmentalists and dumbass politicians, we have become energy slaves DESPITE all the oil we have right here in this country. Don't believe the BS about it taking 10 or 20 years to extract this oil. With the technology we have now the oil in the ANWAR region of Alaska could be flowing within 2 years. The rest may take a little longer. But WE HAVE TO START somewhere, sometime and that time is NOW or never. Alternatives are years away and may or may not work out. OIL is ALL we have right now and unless we start DRILLING NOW, we will be facing GREAT DEPRESSION II within a few years. ]]> Sun, 20 Jul 2008 13:46:51 -0400

There's no doubt that supply and demand for oil is the primary mover as countries like China and India are demanding a huge amount of oil to develop their economies.

We have enough oil right here but our politicians just don't get it. As for alternatives, they're still years away and while we should work on them we should also be DRILLING OUR OWN DAMN OIL NOW. We have to attack this on all fronts. Alternatives are a wild card. Ethanol is a joke.....it actually creates more pollution and consumes more oil to produce than what it saves. The other alternatives all have pros and cons. We can't afford to wait.

I recall 10 years ago when Pres Clinton shot down the Alaskan Oil in ANWAR. The environmentalist wackos were ecstatic because finally we would come up alternative energy to replace oil. Well, here we are 10 years later and more dependent on oil than ever. If Clinton had opened ANWAR for drilling we would be getting a million and a half barrels of oil PER DAY right now. But Slick Willie was too busy drilling Monica instead.

Now we're the ones getting screwed at the pump!]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 22:40:31 -0400

Of course, if we don't start exploiting our own bountiful natural resources PRONTO and start on the road to energy independence NOW, all bets are off. And your doomsday scenario may very well come to pass for the US. That would be a pity but I don't think our politicians get the urgency. ]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 18:38:49 -0400
