Yes, we need to drill NOW!! And build Nuke power plants too!
But we need to find another means of providing power for transportation too. Pond scum may or may not be the answer, but it is an idea, and means people are thinking. Americans are the most inventive people in the world and we WILL find a way. And who knows, that farm pond in my back yard may provide enough fuel to power my Explorer!!

I agree that we should let our entrepreneurs loose to follow any leads they can think of. We just should not let the leftist media persuade us that this will solve our problems in the foreseeable future.
All these things are good, but they are still marginal.
I’ve bought a wood burning stove and built a wood shed, and I’m getting a pellet burning fireplace insert, because I don’t want to pay any more for high-priced fuel oil than I have to. But I’d rather have cheap, convenient nuclear power. It would be a lot easier, and it could have been much cheaper—if the whackos hadn’t been blocking it for decades.
We should be doing whatever works best, not whatever is politically correct.
