HOw about drilling on our own land where we KNOW billions of BBL’s in proven reserves lie? ANWR, the Beaufirt and Chuchki Sea, off the coast of California, and in large parts of the Gulf which are presetnly off limits. Also, how about actually building neuclear plants, a technology we invented and is now being developed on a massive scale overseas, mostly supplied by our buddies the French and Japanese. On that note, how about investing in ‘clean coal’ since we have 1000 yeears+ supply of coal? Our coal business is prospering right now in part because EXPORTS have reached a record level, all due to our enviornmentally concious European friends buying it from us and burning it because it is their cheapest source of energy. The whole economic picture is bleak in large part because of enviromentalists and the Democrats and spineless Republicans who didn’t realize sending our wealth overseas to fuel our cars would eventually bankrupt our nation.
Let’s call it the MLK melt down.

Well, what’s the answer? Why haven’t we? Spell it out for this simple one.
I agree. I have always said the President tomorrow can bring an end to the high oil prices and instability by doing two things.
1) Declare by executive order an energy emergency. Drill ANWAR and bring that oil to market within 12 months. It will be a massive undertaking, but can be done. It can be a joint gov-private venture. Details can be worked out.
2)At the same time, launch a Manhattan Project to develop a workable new energy source that can be incorporated into existing infrastructure within" X" period. One of the aspects of the new energy source is that it can be used with existing vehicles with minor and inexpensive upgrades.

Your whole comment was extremely well put. Nice analysis.

that would be too easy.....
drama is more interesting...
...everyone is into reality TV... happiness is not as entertaining as total humiliation....
... sad ... what we have bought into and become.
