Republicans are claiming that OCS drilling will provide nearly immediate relief from high oil prices......as in "drilling our way out of the oil crisis". No one is making a similar claim with alternative energy. Yes, they are. Democrats are saying we can and should get off fossil fuels and can do that soon. See Harry Reid - fossil fuels make us sick. We know how to produce oil. We don't know how to produce electric cars that will go 400 miles on a charge and can be recharged in minutes. When are we going to get that? Exactly. Those things are in the developmental stage. There is no immediate relief from high oil prices. It will take at least ten years to transition away from our addiction to oil. Is ten years a guarantee? We will have electric cars going 400 miles between quick recharges in 10 years, you're saying? Do you think no money s/b invested in electric vehicles unless we get a guarantee on when the payoff will come? Straw man. As is your demand for an exact time, OCS oil will hit the market.
