I suspect we have to drill all the oil out of the ground wherever it may be, invade and rob a few more countries, and transfer most of our wealth to the Middle East and Russia before we will have the national will to do anything meaningful.

I'm about to support drilling everywhere. Deep, fast and often. As many pipelines as we can buy pipe for. Get rid of the caribou, clean beaches, pristine landscapes the sooner the better so as to remove any obstacles drilling. Fast. Start now.

And then maybe, just maybe, Americans will face the future. Undoubtedly congratulating themselves on their courage.
