    Actually, her position is pretty close to McCain's, limited drilling (not close to shore) to give us time to develop other sources. Hydro is already at its maximum utilization in the USA, other habitats could be affected by more / larger dams. Wind and solar are good by not dependable; wind doesn't always blow and we need still need power after sunset. We need nuclear and we NEED to reprocess spent nuclear fuel like the Europeans. With reprocessing, the final waste is short lived and we don't need Yucca Mountain. (See again the Europeans) The Carter Administration cancelled reprocessing development in the USA and we've never gotten back on track. Instead, the Europeans have taken the lead in this area. With Large amounts of electrical energy available, we can create the high density bio or synthetic fuels needed to transport goods and people effeciently.

    Perhaps because of his national-security and Navy background, McCain was the first of the two candidates to see the urgency of the issue. The other, less generous explanation, is that McCain needed to tap into the old Bush crowd at the Houston Petroleum Club, and that the only way to overcome their skepticism of him was for him to abandon his semi-green stance on things and go pedal-to-the-metal on the need for more production. And it is true that McCain has racked up lots of donations.


    ok look at huffingtonpostdotcom and you will see that obama has more donations from oil then mccain,
    and suprisingly from oil employees. makes me wonder why oil employees would donate to a candidate
    who would bankrupt and promote goverment takover of their livelihood ?

    go Paris!
    paris for obamas running mate!

    Some need to quit thinking only about money in our pockets and more about our environment and keeping it for the future of many, oil is killing us all slowly but surly and will kill our planet too.

    Hellabob, I think most (99.9%) people know that Paris Hilton did not in fact come up with that. And so what if some people do. She's not running for President. I don't think we hacve to worry about that anytime soon (or ever).

    Don`t give Paris all the credit, we all know what she said., merly repeating what everyone else had said., what do you want Obama to do, tell all us citizens to start drilling in their back yard, wake up and smell the flowers, this piece of info is very worthy of adoption, its somthing we can all do., you got a problem with that.....

    Comment: I think we are wasting what we should be using last which is Oil and think that for power we should be using solar, wind energy and water energy all a natural source of energy that doesnt pollute mother earth. I really dont think we get it we are distroying the earth by using oil for power production. Why do we need oil to heat homes when we can perfect solar power to heat all of our homes. if we spent as much time on perfecting solar power as we do anything else we wouldn't ever need to use heating oil. We could us regular electricity at nite produced from hydro electric dams and solar power during the day. Everyone wants to grow corrn and use biodiesel which is not a bad idea atleast it's renewable, but I think the creative mind can come up with much better alternatives then that. The real problem is we are afraid to put companys out of business instead of protecting mother earth (Not Smart) because the earth will be here long after we all kill ourselfs because we ruined our planet. There is no other earth that we have found yet so we should take care of what we have because she takes care of us.

    until individuals put thei money where there mouth is and go out and buy that solar panel for their house,
    grow corn in their backyard and distill for their car and so on and so forth, the answer will be to drill for more oil because the individual american is usually too lazy to mow their lawn !!!
    oh but maybe you were talking about someone ELSE doing the work........

    I've been saying the same cotton picking thing for 20 years! This actually annoys me that some skinny rich brat who has never had to worry about a dime is the one who gets you people off your butts!
    As for Americans whining about the price of fuel, people in the United Kingdom are paying the same thing.. only it's for a LITER not a GALLON.
    As for the person with the algea pond, why did they stop using it for a power source? Maybe the city/community needs to see about resurecting the turbines? Why were the turbines taken out?
    And ... we all need to quit depending on the government to solve our problems.. they just us make more troubles and raise our taxes to while they are at it.

    Yes we do, at least I do not sure about the other guys

  • Posted By: zakshack @ 08/07/2008 10:00:10 PM

    I believe the alternative fuel were looking for, will be hydrogen.California has started opening hydrogen refill sations, this is the alternative, for all the right reasons., come America lets produce it safely, there is no shortage of water...

Many know it, but I bet some of these idiots actually think she came up with that. She's like a puppet - somebody's behind her every move, unless she does or says something really stupid, then it's obvious she tried to get creative.

    Ohhh i thought you were talking about Obama................

    Sounds like her guy is alot smarter than McCain and Obama's guy!

    The sooner we can get this oil monkey off our back the better. Arguing will not do it. Oil will remain a valuable resource for a large part of the world in the forseeable future, but we can be an exporter instead of an importer if we can work together and move toward alternatives like hydrogen. The byproduct of using hydrogen is water. Can you imagine the impact on the environment when 25 or 50 percent of our engines are converted to this fuel?

    More Drilling will produce more gas and diesel for our cars, but it also will give the American people the money in their pockets to keep the economy growing. Also without a constant source of cheap oil, everything plastic in your home will have to be made with something else. Now after those last few words of my previous sentence, everyone will say, "Yes we need something else" I ask, "What is there"? It takes a lot of fuel and fertilizer to make alternative Bio-fuels and plastics from plants. That is the only alternative according to the Democrats. We can't use coal, we can't get our electricity from Nuclear, we can't drill, we can't..... The Democratic party is the party of "we would like something new, but we can't get there without someone magically making something new that is non polluting". Well, there isn't anything that doesn't affect something else in this world. Hydro dams affect the environment about as much as CO2 emissions. We can't drill here, but China and Cuba can drill 50 miles off the shore of Florida. We can't have Nuclear, but France gets about 85% from Nuclear reactors safely. We can't use coal, but we ship train loads nose to tail out to the ports on the west coast to ship to China and India. We not only give our money away for oil resources, we also send our own resources to other countries that could give a care less about pollution. This is just wrong.
    We have enough coal and Oil in America to make as much fuel and plastic as we need cheaply. We can clean it up if we want.

    Pride and politics will destroy this country. These politicians (McCain, Obama, and Pelosi) won't take Paris' suggestion, eventhough she is right. They are not true LEADERs, they are politicians. Leaders need to have some humility to learn when they are wrong, or a better solution surfaces.
