Ya know, every time the GOP wants to drill [like in 2008], we hear from the DEMs:
"Oh, it'll take three years to get the oil into production" ...
Or, if we want to build more nuclear plants:
"Oh, it'll take ten years for them to come on-line" ...
WELL, if we HAD started drilling in 2008 AND we HAD started building more nuclear plants in 2002 - WE WOULD HAVE THEM BY NOW !!!
BTW - MORE than 60% of France's electric power is nuclear - about the ONLY THING the Frogz got right ...
I was reading about the Ford Shale deposits in South Texas.
Seems there is one county sitting on the shale area....4 years ago started drilling (horizontal and fracking)...now supports 12,000 high paying jobs as is shipping 100,000 barrels of oil a day.
