No matter how horrible the British Petroleum spill proves to be, it won’t change the economic reality. We are putting our economy and our national security at risk when we rely on the likes of Venezuela and Saudi Arabia to get the oil we need.

Although I supported "Drill Baby Drill", I never believed the Oil Industry hype that the global supply of oil was infinite and would remain "cheap" as long as we just kept looking for it.

And it was bad enough when the Oil Lobby supported subsidized ethanol production, which competed against the food industy, driving up corn and cattle prices.

Now BP has severely damaged our gulf seafood industry, and it'll be 15~20 years to recover, no matter how much they spend on "feel good" propaganda projects to make it look like they're cleaning up...

We can't rely on "Drill Baby drill" anymore,
We HAVE to build more nuclear power plants...
AND electrically powered passenger rail and maglev systems.

As Palin has repeatedly said.

What part of “all of the above” do you not understand?

It is not “one or the other,” it is “all of the above.”

It is both oil AND nuclear.

And natural gas.

And shale oil.

And geothermal.

And hydro.

And solar.

And wind.

Capiche?

Oil isn't about electicity, yes we need nukes, but our electricity is generated by coal mostly followed by Hydroelectric and then nukes fit in there somewhere. Hardly any oil is used to make electricity. Our oil use is in other power uses and cannot be replaced by nukes. You are buying into the greenies BS about "evil" oil. If oil is so finite then you, and other idiots, won't have to worry soon because we will run out, right?

Shouldn't people like you be crying for more and more use of oil so that we could run out and the problem of "pollution" from oil(which is BS because the oil seeps out of the ocean floor all the time on its own)will be gone forever?

I’m holding out for the personal jetpack I was promised in the ‘50’s.
