Why stop there? We have untapped oil in the Gulf of Mexico we could be extracting, oil in Colorado's mountain ranges that we know how to extract now (drilling sideways without damaging the environment) and our own shale oil reserves we could be exploiting using underground extraction which doesn't disrupt the surface.
So why don't we do it?
Oh yeah, that's right - an environmentalist-nazi controlled Democrat party, and a bunch of spineless Republicans who don't force daily votes on drilling off our own shores or in our own waters.
Don't just toss out the Dim's, toss out the spineless Pubbies too this election!!!
Demand Energy Independence, and demand it NOW!
8. All Alternative energy production sources encouraged.
Probability: Unlikely. Any increase in production won’t offset growth in demand.
9. Corruption and obstruction (while secretly moving US technology offshore) at the US Patent Office ends.
Probability: Unlikely. It hurts when coffee gets spit out my nose.
10. Additional nuclear reactors planned.
Probability: Unlikely. Brainwashed lefties will never allow anything meaningful in this regard.
11. ANWAR drilling begins
Probability: Unlikely. See #10.
1) ANWR holds at most 2.7 years of US consumption, more likely < 2 yrs. Possibly as little as 1. More importantly, that’s about 3 months of world consumption.
2) Alternative Energy has been sought with funding for 31 years now. The DOE was created in 1977. Oil remains the primary fuel source for transportation. There is no proof or law of the universe that says acceptable alternatives can be found.
3) Cities are not farms. Food gets to cities on trucks, usually over large distances. Trucks use diesel. Nuclear power provides electricity, but the power required for trucks to carry food to cities is beyond practical electrical designs. The horsepower/watt conversion would dictate battery size/weight so large that little payload room would remain in the equations. There is much talk of cars for alternative fuels, but from the perspective of sheer survival of civilization, it is trucks that matter, not cars.
4) The Democrats are being entirely political when they say “you can’t drill your way out of the problem”, but from a long term perspective this is right. New supply would lower prices temporarily, and there’s nothing wrong with a temporary reduction in price, but the truth is that there is no reliable evidence behind “oil is replenishing itself” theories. If there was, private landowners with old wells on their land would restore their revenue flow now that prices are so high. They don’t because empty means empty. There is a finite planetary supply of oil and when it’s gone, it’s gone. (Note, however, that Saturn is made of methane)
