Why wont democrats in congress support opening the nations coastlines for more offshore drilling. For some reason, liberals talk at great length about wind power and solar power and geothermal power and nuclear power and cleaner coal produced power and natural gas, but why is it that they refuse to see reality for what it is?
I would like to know the following:
1. How hard does the wind have to blow until it turns into gasoline?
2. How bright does the sun have to shine until sunlight morphs into gasoline?
3. How hot does the ground need to get where you can turn that heat into gasoline?
4. How much fusion is required for plutonium or uranium to turn into gasoline?
5. How much pressure must you put on a piece of coal until it melts into gasoline?
The worlds demand for oil is increasing, the United States’ demand for oil will increase as well. Right now 98% of all cargo and basic American citizen transportation is fueled by the combustion engine that requires gasoline… which is a by-product of oil. There is no infrastructure for electric cars that DO NOT YET EXIST to replace our vehicles. The last time i checked I did not see an 18 wheeler with a big sail using wind power to move from point A to point B. I havent seen the nuclear powered or the geothermal powered vehicles taking the market by storm. Nor have i seen any Gas-A-Coal stations.
Common sense would tell you that if you dont increase the supply as the demand increases then you will continually pay higher and higher prices. Is it possible that because increasing our oil production supply (with oil from the United States) will not immediately affect the price of gasoline that democrats and liberals really feel that paying twice as much or more in 10 years is a good idea? That slowly killing our economy is the right thing to do, or that they should try to mask it by talking about renewable energy sources, ALL OF WHICH, have nothing to do with our current transportation infrastructure or our oil demands? Like i said, at what speed must the wind blow for it to turn into gasoline?
Please, any liberal or any democrat, please demonstrate how opposing more offshore drilling is responsible and realistic for this nation as any part of any energy policy?
