[QUOTE="edge, post: 211381, member: 5030"] While I agree that we should drill, IMO we should only pump oil when the prices spike. IMO, Drill in ANWAR, drill off of Florida, drill of of California. Pay for the oil companies to build the pipelines, and then CAP THE WELLS! If the price spikes over 100, then this will be our strategic reserve and it will drive down prices. What I want is that when the World is out of oil, the USA has the last reserves. DRAIN the Arab oilfields and let them kill themselves over sand dunes, I don't care. BUT, to do that WE, the AMERICANS, need to build refineries to liquify and gasify coal, and build nuclear reactors on an unprecedented scale! It is silly to use petroleum for transportation. Energy, specifically fossil fuels are so huge that it is hard to comprehend how much is used! How much oil do we use? MORE than 1,000 barrels of oil EVERY SECOND! A large coal fired powder plant uses 300 train cars of coal every day, 25 tons per minute! [url=http://science.nationalgeographic.com/science/environment/global-warming/high-cost-coal.html]Coal Burning, Fossil Fuels, Pollution - National Geographic[/url] While I think that "Green" cars are good, and cutting fuel consumption is good, the BIG picture is HUGE! A few Windmills spinning in the desert may provide some energy, but lets get REAL on what is really needed.....NUCLEAR, AND in a big way. edge. [/QUOTE]
