ManimalX -> RE: Sarah Palin on ANWR, energy, oil (9/11/2008 9:55:12 PM)

quote:
ORIGINAL: wing2000 .... I should hope she can speak to energy operations in her own state. ...and how does using the last of our energy reserves make America more secure? Isn't it time to steer our energy consumption away from fossel fuels? The future is in alternative fuels...the opportunity is there if American cares to exploit it. We have enough untapped oil to easily last a century or more. While that is being used, we have plenty of time to develop other energy sources. McCain and Palin have said this repeatedly. We need more nuclear, more coal, more natural gas, and more oil while we perfect other energy sources such as solar, wind, hydrogen, geothermal, etc. Shutting off the oil spigot cold turkey would throw the US economy into actual chaos (as opposed to the imaginary recession the libs like to pretend we are in now). The technology to transition into non-hydrocarbon energy sources is not there yet, so we need to buy tie to work on it.
