Anyway, forget about Obama for a sec.
Long term solution: serious investment in alternative energy, like we did back in the 60s when Kennedy decided he wanted to go to the Moon and achieved it in 10 years. Even if you don't believe in global warming, there's no question that we are running out of places to drill for oil - with more and more need to exploit difficult approaches like deep sea offshore drilling, and inevitably, you just get more huge disasters like this.
Guess who's blocking any kind of alternative energy bill? The Republican party along with a handful of conservative/corporate Democrats from states that depend heavily on coal and oil. If you had just three or four less conservatives in the Senate, we'd already be on our way.
- jesus, you actually think it's like going to the moon. don't buy that line dude. it isn't.zenmasterfoo
- we can't drop oil. drilling safer is better. deep rig drilling is not the way to go. on shore drilling is. and nuclear.zenmasterfoo
