Hillbilly White Trash: Speaking of friggin' morons
They say that drilling now wouldn't bring the price of gas down right now but when will these "clean, carbon-free, renewable energies" that they gibber about bring the price of energy down? We know how to mine coal, drill for oil, build nuclear power plants and we are very close to developing a way to easily extract the oil from oil shale.
We don't have any idea how to build a solar cell that converts anything but the smallest part of the spectrum into electrical power nor do we have the slightest idea how to build genuinely efficient wind or tidal power generators. If we did we would already be doing it.
The fact is that saying that new technology will make oil obsolete is like saying that one day we will mine the asteroid belt for its mineral wealth. A true statement but something that is somewhere off in the future - how far off in the future we have absolutely no way of knowing. RIGHT NOW we need energy that we can count on, that we understand and that our technology is already able to provide and that means oil.
