stop blaming Liberals. The energy plan of all U.S. Presidents have been a failure for the past fifty plus years. We are using the same fuel that we have used for a hundred years. We love to say we are the greatest nation on earth. The fact is, the greatest nation on earth should have led the world to an alternate source of energy a long time ago.Do liberals have a magical energy source that we can use today that will take the place of oil?
And drilling for oil today in America will do nothing but maybe increase the oil supply by 2% in 8-10 years. Wow, let's drill today so we can send the stuff to China! Their gonna have millions of more cars by then, there will be more demand for a limited resource and there is plenty of promising alternative modes of transportation like hydrogen, air pressurized engines, electric, bio-fuels, and natural gas.....and yet you call that magical??
The only thing magic is if your limited oil resource manages to carry us forward 10 years from now. Think prices are high today? Just wait until those millions more cars come on the road in India and China.
There's nothing ';magical'; about it. Many sources of alternative energy are in the process of developement right now. Hydrogen and battery powered cars are only two of the examples. Either one is better than the Conservatives approach to the problem, which is ';pretend the problem isn't there...maybe it will go away';.
Liberls are against Nuclear power. Wind and Solar is a joke, it is clean yes, but it is like trying to power a Las Vegas casino with a AA battery. A medium city would need a solar field the size of arizona to power it. Lets not forget those slly things called clouds...
Liberals only pose problems, no solutions.
And Al Gore has a personal jet... and his Mansion uses more energy then the white house...amazing for a greeny. And lets not forget he has made over $10 million on ';An inconvient truth.'; and ye doesn't donate to green orgs...
Ending our dependence on foreign oil is not a partisan issue. The geopolitical ripples of this dependence affect each of us, our taxes, the value of the dollar, the wars we fight, foreign affairs, our reputation abroad, even the price of food. Since we are all affected, we should all work together to come up with new alternatives. Besides, the new industries would create lots of jobs to replace the three million that have gone overseas in the last eight years.
Yes. It was called CONSERVATION and ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES.
But you guys thought, ';What the hell...we won't need either...';
And opened up the North Slope in Alaska to drilling for oil.
Back in the 1970s.
Today?
History just repeats itself. With smaller oil stockpiles everywhere--you still think that drilling our way out is the *answer*.
You just never learn.
Yes, they love those solar energy things like the massive one in our John McCain's Arizona, also wind turbines that are popping up. They even want electric cars and hydrogen fuel cells down the line. If we do that the oil industry will get hurt and our GOP will lose a lot of campaign contributions. Doesn't that just fill you with HATE and RAGE for libs!?! They want to take our GOPs oil money just like they were taking away Jim Adkisson's FOOD STAMPS. Those LIBS!!!
Sadly, we don't. Do conservatives have an answer to what to do with nuclear waste or to why oil companies are not utilizing the permits that they currently have to produce more domestic oil? Let me help you out with the answer to the second question. They don't need to when they are reaping record profits selling you and me oil from foreign sources.
The problem with drilling now is that it will give everyone a false sense of security because prices are lower. There are positives to gas prices being high. There are people who are coming up with their own ways of avoiding high gas prices. As a consumer I want to be able to choose what I use to fuel my car. Think of it this way, your pocket book may be hurting now but with gas prices being high it won't be long and other fuels and ways to run our cars will be more easily obtainable.
According to Obama if we inflate our tires and maintain our tuneups on our cars we won't need to drill.
';There are things you can do individually, though, to save energy,'; Obama said. ';Making sure your tires are properly inflated – simple thing. But we could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling – if everybody was just inflating their tires? And getting regular tune-ups? You'd actually save just as much!';
Yes.Electric cars.
The Insurance agency, that sweet darling of the Republican right, doesnt want them because car fatalities would go down.
And insurnace revenues would diminish, meaning less donations to the GOP.
Less dead Americans is bad for the GOP in that of but many ways.
yes coal , and instead of wasting money on highways we should build more speed trains like other countries, and have mass transit that would be far better, faster, cheaper, cleaner check out norway on yahoo and look at europes transit system its like a road map
I notices our govt has no problem taking planes everywhere at high prices on our dollars!!!
From the way liberals have stopped nuclear development, oil drilling, wind mills in my back yard they must have some secret magical solution. I figured out what that is now. They just put it off so our children can deal with it and blame it on Republicans.
Yes!!!! Nuclear, wind (stand next to a freeway and feel the breeze), solar (its free) and walking (hopefully we won't be the fattest country on Earth if we did that).
EDIT: To the ';Kiss Me'; person. Why do you work 60 miles from your house?
No I guess they want us to walk everywhere we go.
Of course, while they are railing against Big Oil etc., they are riding around in THEIR cars.
I'd like to see Just some chick ride 60 miles one way to my job. And I live in the nearest town to it.
In the midst of all this hand-wringing over energy we seem to have lost sight of the fact that it is us, the consumer and high life styler with an insatiable appetite for oil, who has gotten us into this mess.
Vegetable oil = nay
Solar Panels = nay
Wind Power = nay
Hydrogen Energy = nay
Electric (still comes from oil) = nay
Nothing here can compare to oil today.
It doesn't look too promising.
Walking, biking, carpooling, hybrids.
Or we could just start drilling offshore and in 10 short years we can have that magical energy source.
yes it is called hot air that can be used in the place of helium just get into the halls of Congress and you will see it start to raise the roof
No,neither do conservatives... Lol if you think drilling here would benefit anybody but the oil companies.To little to late.
renewable energy. you can ';magically'; get more of it, unlike oil, which is a finite source
No but we are smart enough to know that drilling along is really stupid - can be done only as part of a comprehensive plan designed to phase out the need for oil.
Electicity for cars. And I don't fault people for using oil.
Where do I buy one of these ELECTRIC CARS everyone keeps talking about????
Who knew!!! Where are they sold??
Xiomy: LOL
Cyrstal pyramids. Twirl 'em and feel the power!
Sure. If we can ever convert hot air to a fuel.. the liberals will be golden.
Energon cubes...
Yup hot air from lying Republicans.
If you can harness the power of stupid people in large groups, then Yes!
i have a bike... wow that was so easy to solve.
