Wow, screw the constitution, supply and demand, and reality - just pass a law. Methinks Palin herself would laugh that one off. I get the sentiment, but so many problems with that it's hard to know where to start.
Having said that, I am all for using the resources we have as soon and as quickly as we can so that our own energy is a more viable option.
Wow, got a thing for drama? As to problems, we have more problems following the path we are on than with what I advocate.
Reality? The reality of supply and demand dictates we take advantage of what we have right here, right now.
We have the proven oil and natural gas reserves, the business infrastructure and legal system in place to be absolutely energy independent thanks to we have here in North America.
Problems? Did you just get out of class? Catch up. It is the roadblocks our political opposition has put in place that have created the problems!
And, it is the political opposition that prevents us from ending these wars for, and foreign entanglements about, oil.
The progressive political opposition and their anti-American policies are keeping us from the economic transformation developing our abundant, stable domestic energy supplies and exports would bring about.
Pass the law! Only North American energy! We've got it, let's use it. No more bowing for oil!
