Drilling here now creates high-paying jobs today that must go on for at least ten years, per the liberals, since it takes that long to get the oil...
If in fact it will take 10 years or more to get oil out.. I say we tell the democrats, using their own talking point “DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN’
An even simpler concept is to apply it to education of children. After all, why spend so much money and time on educating a child when the payoff will not be for 15-20 years? So, why start it? It’s a good one to throw at liberals since they are so beholden to the education mafia.
Democrats only understand infrastructure as it applies to highways, bridges and schools. The concept of building infrastructure in military, energy, and even maintaining a healthy birthrate, is foreign to them.
It’s so easy to see how idiotic the liberal position is - keep aborting the babies, and eventually we’ll have no schools, no taxpayers, no nothing. Same with military - no military and out goes our freedoms; likewise, no energy, and we all go bankrupt as the economy collapses.
Also, one of the Oil Company experts mentioned to Sean Hannity that they could get oil to the markets in 1 year if the drilling ban was lifted.
An excellent point.
The development of new energy sources should be the engine that drives the economy to recovery over the next few years. We need something to replace the Stock Market, Internet and Housing booms and energy would seem to be the logical choice.
What is needed is for the Government, federal, state and local, to get out of the way and allow the natural release of all of that capital that is currently sitting on the sidelines to pursue solutions to the energy crisis. You have to go for oil to keep the economy going and to provide the income necessary to pursue the alternatives. Given enough capital, time, freedom and profit motivation the energy problem can be solved.
We only need to increase the energy supply for the United States by a couple percent a year to stay ahead of the curve. It is well past time for our government at all levels to help rather than hinder this effort.
