Re: your post awhile back on the Pubbies not exploiting the energy issue for all the ways the Dems have screwed it up, agreed.
I’m not quite sure how to frame it, but I can see a ‘global responsibility’ pitch appealing to moderates. that we’ve been irresponsible in so limiting and outsourcing energy production, when there’s no doubt we’d do it with more environmental sensitivity than many other nations, we are no longer generating ‘our fair share’ even though we’ve the capacity, and even that we’re directly to blame for food crises in the third world if we don’t step up the way we should.
Further good news we can use to couch it in is how much the technology has advanced in terms of protecting the environment over the past few decades.
One last good hit can be how much hamstringing our economy re: energy may not hurt those here in the US who are already comfortable, but that it will put a real crimp on the level of health care, for example, that our economy will effectively be able to support for the less fortunate here at home.
bottom line is this...
The world runs on oil right now.
We need to encourage exploration of alnertaive energy— but no reason we should be claim we can’t drill or refine oil because of the environment, when it will be done by someone, weather it be us or our enemies- it will be done.
no reason for us to PAY our enemies for doing it.....ridiculous...
it is like owning a gold mine, but buying gold from your enemy just to feel good...
RIDICULOUS!
I wonder if anyone knows what the true time from start to finish would be to bring in crude to be refined would actually be without all the needless regulations.
I just don't think that DC has a clue just how much $4.00 a gallon gas screws up peoples lives.I know the rats don't care but our side sure should.
