The November election is still far enough away to get the discontent messaged out to Washington, D.C.
We all need to write, call or fax representatives and senators to tell them that drilling needs to get started pronto. And the rhetoric that it doesn’t matter because it will be ten years before it gets to the consumer is hog wash. This is America and we could invent oil in ten years if we had to. Well, maybe not invent oil, but how about a substitute for oil. And I don’t mean something stupid like ethanol that takes a food crop away from hungry people.
What a boondoggle that was. Didn’t it occur to anybody that taking all that corn out of the grocery market would make a difference in the food bill? Yep — all the way from corn bread to steaks.
Anybody who thinks it would take ten years to get new oil to market doesn’t (1) have faith in good old American ingenuity and persistence, and (2) doesn’t give credit to all the chemists and engineers in the United States who could solve problems if the 110th Congress hadn’t tied their hands with a kadzillion places where oil can’t be drilled.
We absolutely have to lay this oil problem at the doorstep of the 110th Congress because the Democratic controlled congress has the power to authorize repealing the ban on offshore drilling.
Will someone go down to Brazil, please, and get some fresh ideas on how they became independent of oil.
“The so-called “Global Oil Crisis” is an invention of the US liberal ruling class, which has successfully managed to export their disastrous ideas worldwide. Oil supply and demand has been on knife-edge balance for years.”
The liberals are promoting the envio-terrorists agenda and refust to tap our own resources. Vote the bums out!
