Obama 'Shines' Natural Gas

Pressurized natural gas for autos is a non-starter for safety reasons.

We have plenty of offshore oil. Drill, drill, drill. We can be energy independent for 30 to 60 years.

CO2? No problemo. It's a trace gas that has been proven harmless to animals at concentrations thousands of times higher than already exist in the atmosphere.

CO2 is good for agriculture. CO2 increases crop growth rates, increases crop resistance to drought and cold, and expands the range over which crops can be grown, and reduces water requirements.

CO2 a greenhouse gas? No way. Water vapor already absorbs all of the energy in the CO2 absorption band. Increasing CO2 does not increase the heat retained by the earth's atmosphere.

The earth's climate is most affected by the radiance of the sun. Current radiation from the sun is at an all time low, which explains the harsh winter we are experiencing around the world. Check out the sunspots. 2008 was the year of the fewest sunspots in 100 years.

Turbo diesel and hybrid vehicles are the best ways to reduce our need for gasoline. Increasing the price of gasoline for transportation hurts the entire economy. Our economy depends on our ability to move from our homes to work and the stores.

Summary: We live in a CO2 deficient atmosphere. We need more of this harmless, benefical trace gas. Abundant supplies of oil exist off our coastline. Utilization of this oil will lead to prosperity for America. Drill, use.
