Democrats Against Drilling
July 24, 2008
Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and other liberal leaders on Capitol Hill are gripped by cold-sweat terror. If they permit a vote on offshore drilling, they know they will lose when Blue Dogs and oil-patch Democrats defect to the GOP position of increasing domestic energy production. So the last failsafe is to shut down Congress.
Majority Leader Reid has decided that deliberation is too taxing for "the world's greatest deliberative body." This week he cut off serious energy amendments to his antispeculation bill. Then Senate Appropriations baron Robert Byrd abruptly canceled a bill markup planned for today where Republicans intended to press the issue. Mr. Byrd's counterpart in the House, David Obey, is enforcing a similar lockdown. Speaker Pelosi says she won't allow even a debate before Congress's August recess begins in eight days...

Dims will not allow ANYTHING to happen that might be perceived as good for the nation that Bush might get credit for....
like Obama would lose a war to get elected, Dims will let the nation suffer so they can blame Bush for whatever happens....

You're wrong. Drilling is the right answer for today, while working on the answers for tomorrow.

April is like most libs. They want higher gas prices. they want people to suffer at the pump. They want people miserable
They are willing to make people lives miserable so they can push their agenda. If you want to see depressed libs, watch them when we do start drilling, getting more supply on the market, and gas prices fall

I believe that drilling is the short-term answer, but that alternative energies are the best long-term solution. What is your short-term answer for American energy needs?

Start everything NOW
Lets drill, go with nuclear, coal, solar, and wind
We have huge oil reserves sitting in the ground. Notice how the price of oil dropped when it became clear off shore drilling could be strating soon?

What is your short-term answer for American energy needs?I think you have the correct direction but the wrong oil fields. There are leases that haven't been explored in 40 years that can produce results more quickly than offshore or anwar.
Ford is making drastic changes by bringing it's Foreign cars to market here. Pickens has his wind turbines and coal is one thing we have in an abundance. Jet fuel and diesel fuel are direct extracts from coal.
In the short term use less fuel that is what I'm doing. I think we all know that the squeeze in on.

We can get the new oil on the market pretty quickly. How long will we have to wait for your alternative energies? And what do we do in the meantime - keep paying ever increasing gas prices?
If we start drilling how many new jobs wil be created? How many new jobs with your alternative energies, and how long before those jobs are created?

I think you have the correct direction but the wrong oil fields. There are leases that haven't been explored in 40 years that can produce results more quickly than offshore or anwar.
All currently explorable leases have come up dry because there wasn't actually any oil down there. There IS oil in ANWR, offshore, and other places where our congress has forbidden it. With oil as high as it is right now, if there was ANYPLACE an American company could get oil right now, they'd be siphoning it out with their lips if they had to. More drilling must be opened up, but the Dems will block it at every turn because they think they can convince the American public it's for their own good, because global warming Abu Griab stolen election hope change, and they're probably right.
Ford is making drastic changes by bringing it's Foreign cars to market here.
And this makes drilling a bad idea how? Because fuel efficient cars might not sell as well?
Pickens has his wind turbines and coal is one thing we have in an abundance.
I'm all for coal power plants, but wind turbines, while good in many areas, are not very cost effective for most areas of the country. Also, both are vastly inferior to nuclear and none of the above three can fill my car.
Jet fuel and diesel fuel are direct extracts from coal.
Really? I know both of those are currently petroleum products, but if there's a way to get them from coal, I'm genuinely curious.
In the short term use less fuel that is what I'm doing. I think we all know that the squeeze in on.
That's not an option for everybody. Unless diesel prices go down, the entire world is going to take a hit in the wallet for food. For some people who work in a city, gas would have to shoot up to $20 a gallon before moving close enough to walk or cycle to work would be even economical. I live 950 miles from my school, and while I'm on campus, I walk everywhere because parking is impossible, but how do you suggest I get home for the summer? Put all of my worldly possessions in storage and take a week long cycling trip? This is not Europe, where they cram 400 people into every square mile. Not everyone can walk everywhere they go. And what do you suggest the military do? You can't move 4 tons of hardened steel and ammunition on sunshine and farts. The economy needs fuel. The military needs fuel. People NEED fuel. In the short term, anything other than putting more gasoline and diesel on the market is a pipe dream.
