If I hear “We can’t drill our way out of it” one more time I am going to puke. Of course we can drill our way out of it. That is where it all starts, getting it out of the ground. Any idiot who says this has no clue as to what supply and demand mean.
That and that it would take 10 years to get the oil out and that the price at the pump would only go town 1 or 2 cents per gallon at the pump are some of the lousiest and lamest excuses they come up with. I believe the GOP’s theme should be “It’s the high gas prices Stupid”
Another thing they keep saying is that it’ll take ten years to realize any benefit from drilling, but I haven’t heard anyone ask them why they think alternative fuels will take less time than that.
