If we have such GREAT technology for energy independence why isnt anyone using it?

Question

Bush has been trying for 8 years to remove federal restrictions on drilling. Why are we not drilling today to help gas prices in the future? Obviously we are not going to see practical applications of these wonderful electric vehicles (without the nuclear power to charge them) in the near future. Drilling today will provide lower prices in the near future. Seemingly quicker than these "green" vehicles. Why are we still not drilling for oil now, since now is when we need the help?

Answer 1

Because it's a fake shortage. It's a GOP favorite. One would think they would come up with something else.

Answer 2

Libs think oil is icky.

Answer 3

Hello,,because if you have too much of something everybody has it and it's not worth as much,,but make it rare or seem like oh my goodness what to do??!!then they make a few million amongst thousands of tricky basturds and sell out America to some other wanna be commie country.

Answer 4

The Democrats and the envirnmaniacs have managed to block and pass so much stuff in the past. It is going to be a huge battle to have all this stuff overturned. One reason is they wont let anymore oil-refineries to be built. Even if we could start drilling we don't have enough refineries to do it. I think they just passed permission for one to be built, the first one in 50 years. They wont let nuke power plants to be built or nothing. France gets 90% of its eletricity from nuke plants. BUT NOT US, the envronmentals and Libreals say no. Bush has tried for 7 years like you said to have all this **** overturned. You can fit 1 years of waist from a nuke plant under you desk. If Dems get the White house you can forget it. They have the house and senate already. I just dont understand how these stupid idiots expect to be able to go home a flip their light switch on. START RUNNING OUR CARS ON WOOD CHIPS?? I dont get it eather.
