Can anyone explain why drilling offshore and in ANWR can not help, please provide REAL FACTS?

Had we started 10 years ago would we have been in this mess?

There is no doubt that America is addicted to Oil, Foreign Oil.

The ban on offshore drilling was placed back in 1981 to protect public beaches.

Do we have the technology for safer drilling? Is it now affordable?

We have had 20 plus years from the offshore drilling ban to research alternative energies.

Where is that catalytic converter rumored back in the 70’s that could get 100 MPG, hidden next to the Arc of the Covenant?

Solar, Nuclear, Wind Farms, Ethanol.

Who is holding back research for alternative energy programs? Big Oil Companies, Government owned or scared of Big Oil Companies, Environment Groups?

On my travels this weekend I was surprised to see Jack pumps and convoys of tanker trucks in the hills outside New Martinsville WV. I was talking with some locals and it now is profitable to drill 6000 ft deep wells because oil is $140.00 a barrel. Though they make a mess while they are drilling once the pumps are in there is very little evidence they were ever there.

Secondly George Bush Sr. was against off shore drilling while he was President 1988-1992 and Gov.Jeb Bush was against off shore drilling in Florida while he was Governor 1998-2006. I'm curious why curious George Bush is in favor of it.

Because he is a lame duck now and knows nothing will pass in congress and the senate...who knows.. maybe he also now owns enough undersea drilling crap that he can become and "offshore" platform company as well as a land based drilling company. It is easy to put your mouth where it is not possible for it to be in danger.

That is what I'm saying pinkywalker!

On top of that...he had several years to push this issue and why is it NOW he wants to do something? Those prices were rising annually when the republiCANTS were majority in the House and Senate! He could've pushed to have it passed then!!! Now that people are putting more and more fire under his shoes, he wants to (again) shift the blame!!! His only family was against it! Just totally out of touch!

BigSmoov, This has been going on for over 20 years. We'd be waisting more time if we just bashed Pres. Bush. Dem and Rep, it is now time to show your true concern for Americans. We need a Energy Policy NOW.

The numbers are flying. Potential 18 Billion barrels of oil if we drill in ANWR and offshore. Also reported, America uses 12 million barrels a day. North America sitting on 214 billion barrels while the Middle East has 718 Billion. What about alternatives, what will my kids be using in 50 years? What will we be using in 10?

Ave, don't you KNOW the job of the congress is to make the laws? So why Blame bush? All he can do is sign or NOT sign. He can suggest but thats all.

We stopped drilling for oil in the US back in the early 1980's wnen greenpeace, and the Sierra Club and all the hollywood faces they could muster had that big dog n pony show. They said they didn't want Oil rigs or refineries anywhere, and no drilling in the parks. Then, just like NOW, teh liberals and tree huggers don't have ANY SOLUTIONS, just "no you can't drill in my back yard" Where is their investment in our future? Saying "NO" isn't it. Now these same liberals are piling up behind global warming. They have even LESS FACTS on that than they did on any subject back in the early 80's.

These Tree hugger liberals were wrong back then and they still are today. Why would anyone listen to them? How stupid is it to hear claims of disaster, but no proof, and your computer models don't work either? Perhaps Global Warming IS BS like the credible scientists have been saying for several years.

Y3Y3...your brain just shut down. His FATHER even supported the stop on off shore drilling! Is he a "tree hugger" too?

You can definitly blame Bush on this one. Want to be all gun-BLEEP now and blame the Dems for not going along with his plan when he should've been gun-BLEEP when the republiCANTS had majority control. Just a few more months to go to get rid of this clown!

So Smooov, you are telling us that we had NO OIL PROBLEMS until 2000? The liberals and tree huggers stopped new building and drilling in the early 1980's. That is a verifiable fact. That was BEFORE BUSH.

The oil and refineries we SHOULD HAVE BUILT would be our saving grace. same for the Nuke plants we could never build.

The Democrats and tree huggers have NOT BEEN DOING THIS FOR OUR BEST INTERESTS. They continue to be a disservice to decent americans.

Carter did NOTHING but make things worse by his stupid attitudes. Clinton didn't do ANYTHING!! AT ALL!

Now, with the 'democratic leadership' they have done even LESS! LOL How can the democrats show they are worthy to lead, when even as a majoriy, Bush & company STILL hand them their collective heinies! They were unable to affect anything in Iraq, or do anything they promised. Do the Democrats have any ideas? Where are they?

All they have done is talk, and lie to the american people.

Y3Y3.....AND BUSH HAS NEVER LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!?!?!?!??!?! Come on bro!!! You are (I assume) a smart person. Even you don't beleive that one.

We can tap into the "history" of why things are the way they are. That fact of the matter is when you have the authority to handle business now.....why not handle it NOW!!!! I'll answer that. He wants to make sure his oil buddies are taken care of first!!! Why wasn't he this vocal when we had the representatives of the big oil companies on Caplital talking about how they "...don't know how much their salaries are..."?????? Helping his friends out by staying out of the line of fire until the smoke clears and then make comments and how to pin it on someone else.

Oh Lord Y3 here we go again with Smoov bringing up sh=t that has nothing to do with the debate at hand. He seems to do this when he knows he has been whacked in the bollocks with the truth ....

Back when Bush was in his first term what was the price of Gas Smoov? Not 134$ a barrell!!!!! Like I said in an earlier blog, that Dum B+tch Skankosi said she will bring down the price of gas if the Dums were returned to power ... Geee .. how was she going to achieve that ... by having her husband bend over for OPEC or was she going to perform on her back? Pray tell Smoov ...

I would like to see what the excuse would be if that Dumbo Fagoma becomes Prez. now that he is not going to be taking public funds for his campaign ... I wonder what and who will be providng the private funds for his Prez campaign .... I smelll some real rotten chicken and some really rotten watermelon ...

And when the time comes, who are the Pipers that His White Denying Blackness will be paying? Food for thought .....

Smooov, Do you think YOU lie to us? You tell us all sorts of lies and fictions that YOU BELIEVE. Whatdo YOU think of as a LIE? if YOU didn't know any better and said something that YOU THOUGHT WAS THE TRUTH - but it WAS A LIE, does that make YOU a liar???

Y3Y3 you are dead on with your above assessments.

Also, people seem to forget that oil did not pass $100 a barrel until the Democrats took control of Congress.
