Drilling for more oil and gas is the only way to power our world. Alternative energy is for left wing weaklings who would rather the world starve to death than simply opening up the ANWAR or off the coastline of the US. You should know this! Solar energy is a bunch of crap too. there is not ONE solar energy panel out there that can produce energy anywhere near the efficiency the world needs to power itself. Maybe in the year 2221 we might be able to make a solar panel that works, until then it's oil baby Wind energy?! Get so for real. If every square inch of the entire US were covered in windmills that would not give us more than 1% of 1% of the energy we use in a week. The government for some socialist reason chooses to throw money away on this idea. Never you mind that for every kW of energy produced it take 10kW to make. it's actually a net NEGATIVE when building these things! ufb! Electric Vehicles?! You have GOT to be kidding? First off, they will have to be built sooo small that if you get into an accident most likely you will be permanently injured OR killed outright. Plus, our electrical grid is almost completely useless for powering vehicles. It would take 5 trillion trillion dollars to update the system to make it viable to service a few thousand vehicles. I almost forgot to throw in CAFE standards, those freaking socialists think that somehow by reducing consumption by law, magically we will use LESS gas. Can someone tell me how this works?!! it's absolutely the most Commie idea to EVER come down to the halls of Congress. Reduce consumption by raising efficiency standards? ROFLMAO. retarded, simply retarded. the Chinese will just come in an undercut us once again, and then what are you going to do?
