And, No- I care not for the Hummer, but if I was rich enough to have one, I’d get a drunken party of hunters, and we’d go goat hunting on your land- I understand even George Clooney can scare a goat. That’s actually not surprising….

Your estimates of oil reserves could be off by a statistically significant amount- hell, they didn’t even know about the Brazil oil field fifteen years ago, now they say it could rival Saudi Arabia- and we might have that much off hte coasts- but we won’t have that good an idea unless and until we drill some exploratory holes- something Hussein is not willing to do.
And while oil is an internationally traded and sold commodity, the shipping costs would be significantly less if we only had to ship from our coasts, and we wouldn’t have to worry about ignorant tribesmen from Kenya, or towelheads from the middle east, all intent on stopping the flow of oil to the US.
And why no nuclear? That really stumps me- a person has to be ignorant on the order of an invertebrate to be against this, but this is so in this admin.
And I am for whatever produces jobs- do I think that wind/ solar are the future? No. They are a stopgap measure that fills in some holes in our infrastructure, but they are not the desired end result.

BLK: “I am against 1)- crippling our economy by refusing to drill to fill in the energy gaps”>>

1) Oil is a world traded commodity. We have about 2% of the world’s reserves and consume about 20% of the world’s oil. It has a price/value and in this regard, it doesn’t matter where it comes from. Thus making your “drill now” slogan hardly relevant in the big picture.
We’ll get to our hard to get to final last drops as it becomes economically feasible (higher prices), but again, barely relevant on the world stage.
Personally, I am for sitting on it for a while so as not to encourage the dumb dumbs to flush more down their pickups. We’ll need it for fertilizers for our crops. Most of our food comes from fertilizers using the hydrocarbons from oil. We basically eat it. We’ll miss it when it’s gone.

BLK: “2)- I am against the Chinese manufacturing these turbines”>>

Then you must be ticked about them getting your iconic, American, Hummers.

But good, you are for more American involvement/production of wind power. Welcome aboard. Welcome to the place sensible liberals were decades ago. There are a lot of issues you will soon be joining sensible people on, whether you have to be dragged like a contrarian four year old or not.

Prepare yourself for reality and the future. It’s a nice place to visit but you ought to try living there.

Quit being obtuse, Dar- I know we will be doing wind power- As I have stated before (let’s see if you can comprehend this) I am not against wind power- or solar, for that matter.
I am against 1)- crippling our economy by refusing to drill to fill in the energy gaps while everything else comes on line in an orderly fashion that does not harm our economy ( is THAT plain enough for you, D?), and 2)- I am against the Chinese manufacturing these turbines, and the jobs that the Liar in Chief said would be Americans’ go overseas, along with more of our money. And IS THAT plain enough for you to understand?

“Somebody call the waaaambulance!”

We shouldn’t be doing windpower, and please don’t let the Chinese do it either.

Drill here, drill now!

I guess in Blakes little rubber room, the only thing worst than us doing wind power… is the Chinese doing it with us. At least it’s not the Russians!
