Bush Calls For More Drilling, More Refineries, Nuclear Energy, And New Ideas: Dems Will Yawn
I know. It’s more of the same and it will get the same response from Democrats:
‘’I’ll tell you this: That if Congress is truly interested in solving the problem, they can send the right signal by saying we’re going to explore for oil and gas in the U.S. territories, starting with ANWR,’’ Bush said during a wide-ranging White House news conference. ``Somehow if you mention ANWR, it means you don’t care about the environment. Well, I’m hoping now, people, when they say ANWR, it means you don’t care about the gasoline prices people are paying.’’
We sit on our hands while China begins drilling near Cuba. We don’t build any new refineries, making us very vulnerable if something happens to the ones we have. We can’t build any new nuclear plants because…..well, I suspect the conversation about all of the above would go something like this:
Right: Let’s drill for new oil and gas.
Left: Are you kidding? Not in ANWR. No sir, no way. Caribou. Florida? Nope. Reefs. Fish, that sort of thing. Out of the question. California? Not in our back yard, pal.
Right: Okay, how about nuclear energy…..
Left: (Unintelligible howls of indignation)
Right: Okay, offshore wind farms…..
Left: Birds. They kill birds. Plus they’re noisy and block the view. Can’t do that.
Right: Well, give me a suggestion? What do you think we should do?
Left: Blame Bush. Works for us. And find some answers for our energy needs while you’re at it.
Yeesh.
