Gas prices and offshore drilling

Not much is at stake on Election Day 2008. Just the long-term health of the global economy and the future of the planet. That's what the offshore drilling debate is all about.

    Once again: We are drilling like crazy now

    There is no ban on drilling. Even my little sister is drilling. Now. In the USA.

    But even if we drill more, it will not help. In ten years, we can be out of it. We already have started with the alternatives.

    This thread has entered the fact-free zone. ANWR + the continental shelves = one bottle of Perrier, when we need the Nile, = an ice cube, when we need the snows of Kilamanjaro.

    Please stop with your predefined fake arguments, and address reality.
