The Left says we cannot drill our way out of the "energy crisis".
I say we cannot legislate our way out.
The free market will decide what the next technology will be. Governent will not discover it - some private group will discover it. We cannot force an as-of-yet undiscovered technology on the public and expect it to replace oil. Like it or not, oil is what drives our economy. I'm all for clean energy but let's be realistic. Where is the electricy that is to power our electric cars going to come from? We need oil UNTIL we can find an acceptable alternative. There is nothing on the horizon that will realistically replace oil so for now we need to drill for more oil.
