here we go again …
Talk to real energy experts and there isn’t a single one of them that thinks “drill here, drill now” or “drill, drill, drill” will do a damn thing to lower prices at the pump anytime soon. (other factors will, like curbing speculation and a stronger dollar … and we’re already seeing that)
You can open up ANWR and the OCS tomorrow, full bore no restrictions on anything, and it wouldn’t make a damn bit of difference for YEARS; E&P takes time, and beyond that, we don’t even have the available equipment to drill in the first place. The largest drilling company in the world, Transocean, has nine deepwater rigs coming online in the next year and every one of them is already on long-term contract.
Far as I can tell, what Palin knows about energy is about what she knows about everything else: very little. As for this BS sexism argument, her mother-in-law had it right: she was chosen for VP because she’s a woman and because she’s a social conservative. For Chrissake, Kyle, you’ve been blathering on and on about her damned pencil skirts, earrings and lipstick … is this the new feminism or something?
Palin is Little Miss Drillhead because it benefits her state. DUH. You wanna start talking about the price at the pump, we’re ready to have a go at Phil Gramm and his self-serving role in increasing speculation in the futures markets. And dumbass McCain still hasn’t jettisoned his butt out of the inner circle. Amazing.
Write about something you know about, if anything … pencil skirts maybe
