Dril mo-fo drill . I've heard the old " It wont work for ten years crap before " for 4 decades now . Well , if we would have done this 40 years ago , we wouldn't be where we are at now . Drill the damn holes now ! Get it over with .
And how about this .
Lets stop subsidising tax payers money without a return for the taxpayers .
I'm sick and tired of tax payers buying a space shuttle , and satelites , only to later pay to use the benefits of them .
If we , as investers , in something , with our money , shouldn't we get a return , in a capitolist society ?
Shouldn't we , as investeors , and in control of our government , be able to tell them to drill for oil , then give it to American companies , at the drilling and transport cost , and tell them they are allowed to make a 15% profit for refining cost and such , without puting it on the open market ?
That would be good for us , and good for business .
They only make 10% now .
The problem lies where 10% is made off of 30 dollars , or 10% off 140 dollars .
This would drive down the world cost of oil world wide instanly , and keep American money where it belongs , in America .

ITS FUNNY HOW ON FOX NEWS , SPECULATOR THINK THAT OFF SHORE DRILLING ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE THE PRICE OF OIL BUT THE SLIGHTEST HICCUP IN THE INDUSTRY SENDS PRICES CLIMBING

Just read on yahoo that Bush is lifting the ban on drilling. Guess everybody is wealthy enough now!

Great link Tall!

I believe America should be exploiting all types of domestic energy drilling, shale oil, natural gas and so on. If anything it would have huge psychological benefits on the American people. The attitude of this country is collapsing as quickly as the large lending institutions. Rising prices on all forms of energy, housing foreclosures, high food prices, skyrocketing healthcare etc. is tearing at the moral fabric of this country. Continual bad news feeds on itself which in turn leads to panic and more bad decision making. To see America go wholeheartedly into trying every option to ease the energy crisis, with special emphasis on alternative energy and a brighter future would do wonders to renew the flagging spirit of all Americans. A good example is the Indy Mac Bank. As soon as the news of the federal takeover people panicked and stood in long lines outside the bank drawing out their money. As in the beginning of the great depression bad news ran like wildfire through the country causing everyone to close out their accounts hastening the collapse of the bank system. There is someone in My Fox Detroit that does nothing except post news of scandals and collapsing monetary institutions, conspiracies and fear. Not one ingling of a solution. It's time to shut up and go to work. Drill, mine, scream and yell, VOTE, do whatever it takes get this still great country moving again. I fought for this country once in my life and I'd do it again but if we hunker down, isolate and whine, we won't have a country left to fight for.

There is a problem that is hard to deal with .
Oil companies are going to be real slow when it comes to putting more money into harvesting oil , and building more refineries when they know that fuel cell technology is only ten years from comming to fruit for the masses that drive cars .
That's a hard sell .

YES Drill this will show OPEC that we are serious about oil indpentance..
OBAMA said it will take 7 yrs to see any or little benifit. HIS PLAN GAVE NO TIME TABLE. go sfter aleritive fuels HOW LONG WOULD THIS TAKE? he acts like we would have it next year.

plus go Nuke and clean coal fuels.
The Libs like to blame everyone else and come up with excuses on what not to do.
Their solultion is drive less use, use less heat, have the auto industry to increase fuel milage, raise the gas tax, lower the speed limit, Take profits from the oil company.

Absolute leftist BLEEP. China and India are in their infancy in development. They will be oil dependent for many years to come. how you hugged a tree today?

Just opened T. Boone Pickens site. Wind and Natural Gas. No mention of Solar, Geo Thermal and the rest.
My opine:
1. Drill, Drill, Drill, ye terriors Drill.
2. Build Wind Power Mills.
3. Drill into the Geothermal site in Wyoming.
4. Open the closed oil wells in Michigan, I used to have one on the Farm...
5. Go to Anwar,Santa Barabar, Floriday, South Carolina, build a pipeline, drill onshore, off shore.
6. Create, name, organize a Logistic Campaign to allow the CEOs of the Oil Companies a Dollar a Year salary to run the efforts.
7. Create a RAND type think tank of the best scientists, loggies, and oil rough necks to think thru the BS and get some doable, clean, and reasonable answers.
We have entirely too many voices on this. The need is for clarity, not hysteria.

Honda allready has a fuel cell vehicle on the market today .
It only stands to reason that within 10 years , all auto companies will have to get on the band wagon to compete .
We will still need a lot of oil no matter what we drive .
America probably uses more oil for lubrication alone , than most 3rd world countries use all together .
