McCain has been pitching Nuclear Power for years....he has many other issues, but on that one, he had foresight.
Me thinks he is a little bit environ-mental in him..CALIF is not the place to be or not get the vote-So drill. Even though/they say 2yrs min to see rewards..Get used to $ 5 Gal for the rest of our lives..Our children need a policy now! McCain will not drill. Put the fear factor in OPEC.
Yeah, the third party candidates are the only ones truly talking energy independence.
1st time I could vote--Libertaritain.. party...[Can't remember who] Thought I was getting smarter next time...Reagan-better--Than thought a world change would b nice-Ross Perot-NOT..Gonna Happen..Greed sets in with old age/REPULICAN all the way..Now? Were FRACKED..Demo's Gonna Win. Duh..
Here is why I am stuck. Israel.. Will bomb Iran! I hope now with this President. If "Obama" What will happen? No backup..Gang wars? All of them really want the Jews dead.

The Oil companies have an *** load of leased land to drill from.
They need to use it before they start tearing up Alaska.
Even if a viable solution was found for alternative energy tomorrow (which it won't be that quickly for many of us) our economy and society will remain dependant on large supplies of oil for decades to come. Not only for transportation, but also heating, power, plastics, etc.
The reality is, even if we find other solutions for some of these issues, we'll need oil still.
Get to drilling and researching!!!
