Those who oppose drilling should have their access to petroleum products rationed. I’m going to believe they are serious when Congress starts flying commercial and driving small hybrids. Until then, it’s just an exercise in political theater, getting the scorn it deserves from those who still think for themselves.

Anybody got a hydrogen car? How about an atomic one? A fuel cell? A solar powered one? A non-hybrid electric? Could it be that some of these technologies are not economically or technically viable? Or is it some massive conspiracy that is preventing any company from making trillions of dollars by selling me affordable transportation that doesn’t use petroleum?

Drill. Drill here. Drill now. Or wait another decade, while Lucy yanks the football away again. Fool me once, shame on you. You know the rest.
