...why anyone with the mental acuity of more than a housefly would think that stabbing more holes into Alaska and the eastern seaboard in the search for a few remaining precious drops of oil is a good idea, would solve anything at all, is anything more than the equivalent of hurling matches at the devil.

Yep. The arabs have the last cup of oil. There is no more in the planet. Nope. Those blobs that come up on their own from the bottom of the ocean aren't an indication that there is anymore out there. Nope.

Besides those pumpers would spoil the scenery off million dollar estates on California coast.

It's like Fat Ted's "Don't build windmills in MY backyard".

When this guy’s time comes to meet his maker.... he’s not gonna die. He’s just going to nasty away.

What an embarrassing piece of so-called journalism.

As opposed to waving a magic wand and Poof! affordable solar energy without damaging our priceless desert environment; Shazam! Quantum leap battery technology that lets us actually use the solar energy, and "Oooh, Mr. Genie, you shouldn't have. Is that really a new hydrogen minivan that can actually accelerate and travel 350 miles on one fillup for lil' ol' ME??? Did you bring enough for everyone? And, you brought a new trillion dollar infrastructure so I can fill it up. You're so sweet."

As opposed to that, drill. There's actually oil in the ground.

Of coure, it would probably just be, "Forget the car, OOOOOH, Mr. Genie."

C’mon, give Morford a break. It’s hard for Marxists like him and Osama to understand the markets. They’ve been too long sucking on the taxpayer teat to understand anything as difficult as supply and demand.

Not sure about his tendancies but it says he is from the GayBay area....either way he’s in need of a brain.
