I am familiar with drilling. I want to brake the straggle hold on access to energy that the environmentalists have. This goes for refineries and Atomic power plants as well. Saying it takes a long time to bring in a well is like saying there is nothing we can do about any situation we find ourselves in.

I'm amazed that there is no outrage among the American people against the environmentalists who are truly at fault here. Hence the reason for my Post. How many environmentalists would pay extra to "Save the Planet?" I say not 1!

I just meant that it ain't gonna help us out today or next week.

Look, I've been working in nuclear power for 25 years. Had our industry not been attacked by the environmental wackos, the power generation mix in this country would probably be 50% nuclear (or more) instead of the approximately 20% that it is today.

Because of Bush, several utilities have begun the process of bringing new nuclear power plants on line, but it's still going to be 5+ years before the first one is connected to the grid.
