Whatever Happened to Drill, Baby, Drill?

I will readily admit that I am all for developing alternative sources of energy. I am an 'all of the above' type of guy. Let's do coal, nuclear, wind, solar, diesel, hydrogen fuel cell, bio-fuels, and, ohhh yes, OIL.

The problem is that the Leftwing nutjobs of the environmentalist movement wish to take coal, nuclear, diesel, and oil off the table, and have convinced liberal politicians to pass draconian restrictions on developing these sources of energy.

This is precisely one of the reasons California is in such dire straits today.

Last year when the markets were being manipulated by speculators, driving up the price of oil, Americans were screaming 'Drill, Baby, Drill!' Now that prices have moderated, apparently we have forgotten all about it. Not me. And not this key voice on the national political stage.

America has vast oil fields just sitting there untapped. The fact that our illustrious politicians have prevented us from drilling is just plain stupid.
