POPS Another Reason Why Bush and the Republicans Must Go

by cmstratton 7-11-2008

Being a "big oil" man himself, of course President Bush's answer to soaring oil prices is to drill for more oil. The reality is, while this MIGHT provide some very minor, very short-term relief, it will do nothing to address the real issue. The amount of oil on this planet can not support the world's energy needs as we continue to grow. Instead of drilling more, we need to invest in making alternative, renewable sources of energy more feasible and readily available. Only then will we be able to address the energy crisis. We've got the sun, wind, algae, and many other resources that are almost infinite, but we choose to continue focusing on oil that has a very finite supply. I'll never understand it.
