You said, " The only viable long term answer is all electric vehicles, high speed all electric trains, and other transportation, etc and renewable energy and probably nuclear. Wind, Solar, geothermal, etc will last a billion years or longer - why not go for it full speed like the US put a man on the moon."
And how long will this stuff take to get to market? We aren't going to stop using oil, so we better start using our own resources. The dems said they were going to do so many wonderful things when they took control of both houses. As I recall, things were much better before they took over. All they did, was change the names. They didn't stop the war, like they believe anyone could or should. Now, their intransigence has cost us and the price of foreign oil will continue to rise. I agree, we need to conserve and explore other sources of energy, but we've got to do that in a sane manner, which is counter to the "democrat" way. Drill now!

Besides, the experts say that if you begin drilling today, you won't have enough oil to matter for 5-7 years minimum and probably much longer. Drilling probably should be done because it will take many different things, but it is not the answer to the problem. The only viable long term answer is all electric vehicles, high speed all electric trains, and other transportation, etc and renewable energy and probably nuclear. Wind, Solar, geothermal, etc will last a billion years or longer - why not go for it full speed like the US put a man on the moon. We can still use the existing oil for plastic, medications, and all the other things that need oil. What we need is a presidential candidate who will stand up to the Ethanol and Oil lobbiests. One thing is for sure, with Nancy in charge, there is not going to be any additional off shore drilling. That girl is set on forcing the issue. She is a San Francisco liberal and those people want a clean environment to live in. > Tell me again what you'd like to see (since it's not nuclear energy)? > I would like to see clean, safe, renewable energy including solar, wind, ocean, clean coal, which isn't renewable, but the USA has an abundance of coal, biodiesel, other biofuels like ethanol, and petrol fuel to the extent its from our own USA reserves.
