To the extent that we need an alternative to petroleum, I would agree and have always felt so. But we are a petroleum based economy. We MUST drill, anywhere and everywhere while at the same time funding a concerted effort for alternatives that will allow a smooth transition from petroleum within 50-60 years. A Strategic Energy Initiative, if you will. Jobs created in both the drilling and research sectors will be in the hundreds of thousands and we will wean ourselves from foreign all. The Republicans get it. The enviro lefties? Not so much.
