No alternative fuel is ready today to take the place of oil. Why not drill till it is?

I would much rather get our own than make opec richer!No alternative fuel is ready today to take the place of oil. Why not drill till it is?
BINGO !!!





Long-term- seek viable alternatives


Short-term- incentivise research, utilize our resouces, promote conservation








If the BS from our legislators and liberals could be used as fuel, we would have a limitless supply.No alternative fuel is ready today to take the place of oil. Why not drill till it is?
Because it seems that our interest in alternative fuels is directly related to the price of oil. As soon as we found a way to increase supply and lower the price, our drive to invest in alternative energy will evaporate until the price rose again. When that happens we will face exactly the same situation, except that we may have sacrificed some of our advantage by then. As it stands now, the United States can withstand a spike in oil prices without falling behind rapidly developing countries like China. In twenty years, that may not be the case.


Frankly, I have no love for the tundra. I've been there, and it's not pretty. But I do think that drilling in ANWR would serve only to delay inevitable changes in our energy policy. And I worry that this delay could put us in a much more difficult position in the future. If this were not the case, if I had any faith that we might pursue alternative energies during a time of low oil prices, then I'd agree that we should drill.
Drill Here Drill Now!!!!!!!!!!!!





Ever since the world's first commercial oil wells opened in the US and Russia in the 1850s, the question of future supply has been a matter of controversy.





Today many people take for granted that oil production has peaked and that no substantial new amounts of oil are possible to develop.





These pages present a contrary view based on the idea that oil reserve figures have not been presented honestly by the US and European oil industry. This is not to say that oil won't run out some day, but rather that the usually uncounted reserves are far larger than are generally known.

The worst part is, there is more Oil than ever.It's all about Greed, and Profit.Just do a search on the Book Title '; Black Gold Stranglehold '; and you will see what I mean.And, there is actually no such thing as '; Fossil Fuel ';.When was the last time a Dinosaur Fossil was found in the Oil Fields of the Middle East ? Also, NASA has found Petroleum beyond the Earth.Now, I ask you, how did '; Fossil Fuel '; get out of this world ?
We need to drill and drill and drill, flood the market with cheap American oil. But at the same time we need to be working on alternatives. They are saying it will take 7 years to get the new oil out of the ground where it would do any good, but it will take forever if we don't get started. I'd also bet that its going to be 20 years before we have any affordable alternatives if not longer.
We already import more oil from Canada now than we do anyone else. With this massive supply of brand new oil, nearby, in a secure ally of ours, wouldn't you expect gas prices to go down? Instead, they continued to rise. We need to save these sources of oil for future drilling when we really need it, rather than deplete them right now so that gas can be a few cents cheaper.
I'd rather invest it in wind turbines, solar and nuclear energy than waste it on more drilling and pollution. We have to reduce the use of oil period. Systematic and PERMANENT replacement of oil.
yes we do have something different then oil to run cars on and its been here for years but they didnt' start it cause they thought we'd never run into this mess but we care compliments of OPEC i love them and when wer are selfsufficient well let them go hang. lol
Libral Hippies are saying it would mess up[ the ozone even more, which it would.


But I'm so with you,


Drill in the Artic Cirlce or do something in the middle east to bring price of gas down.
because it cost several hundred billion dollars to drill were we do every year
actually electric cars are supposed to come out very soon

Why not drill until you get to China?. Fossil fuels are running out on this planet. We as humans are going to die, just like the dinosours.
Alas, you've found the 64,000 dollar question! I'm not sure anybody can provide a good answer. I do think the environmentalists are opposed to additional drilling, though.
We should drill now and should have been drilling for the past 25 years but the Democrats and their supporters the tree huggers won't let us.
i agree,drill now till everything else comes on line
Good luck with that. Not enough oil in US to meet demand no matter how you slice it.
I agree.

For real. All this ethanol business has done is make food costs soar. Have you priced beef and chicken lately?
Sure, whatever. If you want to pay an extra $2.00 to have that peace of mind.
how about we conserve instead of wasting our fuel on H3 and huge homes...We are PIGS! and deserve to fail.
