Whatever happened to drill baby drill?

i still agree with off shore drilling

find me an alternative

that is plentiful and cheap and i will support you ,but until then

drill baby drill..

This isn't really a question. It's more of a statement against offshore oil drilling. However, I completely agree with you. I also thought of that idiotic Republican war cry when I first heard of the oil spill in the Gulf. I hope this means the beginning of the end to offshore oil drilling.

Here are some clean energy alternatives:

For cars: ethynol, hydrogen

For homes: wind, solar, natural gas

I'm sure scientific research will come up with more alternatives.

You talk about hate from uninformed citizens, yet your post is full of sarcasm, cynicism, and degrading remarks about your fellow Americans. Way to be a hypocrite.

Drilling in the ocean is fine, as long as the appropriate safety measures are in place and are being followed. Drilling didn't cause the spill in the Gulf. The lack of adequate safety measures, inspections, and proper emergency planning all led to this catastrophe. Refusing to drill for oil now is like refusing to cook because you burned your hand.

For the record, I would prefer that we drill in Alaska. It's safer and "accidents" are easier to contain and correct.

You're too funny. You criticize President Bush and Governor Palin - but take West Texas Crude and Alaskan oil OUT of the equation....and when you're paying $8 a gallon, don't cry big girl.

Drillers are gonna drill in Virginia and England

Still makes sense unless you like $8 gas. Sure, better safety measures need to be undertaken, but that would happen without regulation anyway. BP is on the hook for so much money, it's self regulating. They'll fix what needs to be fixed and get on with it. The question is, does government have enough good sense to get out of the way?

We need to force banks to invest in green energy. Or dependence on oil is a national security issue.

And what might you propose, I don't want to pay 6 to 8 dollars a gal. for gas, we have to drill and look for alternatives, and why not natural clean gas, we have a hundred years of it, in America. What's your solution?
