I shall vote for Obama.
This doesn't mean he's perfect about all issues.
Brazil's (partly govt owned?) Petrobras recently hit an offshore field
that is currently thought to be one of the biggest finds ever.
Mexico's govt owned Pemex makes beaucoups of pesos for their nation.
Canada's natural resources, including oil, are its economic drivers.
I'd be against offshore drilling if we had done something substantive
for cleaner alternatives during the past 30-40 byears.
WE HAVE DONE RELATIVELY zilch, the typical public relations tokenism
which pissses me when I think about what lame fools we are.
I did what I could, which was not much, but I did try to my nebish
capacity.
As a pragmatist, I'd be drilling to replenish the U.S. treasury
deficit.
Environmentalists: Unless the greens actually have something
substantive to implement immediately--not more future pie in the sky--
then I won't wanna impede the belated ocean drilling off the coasts of
the U.S.
Unless Reid, Pelosi, Soros etal really have something that can save
the U.S. and the World (if they do, they'd demo it tonight in reply to
Bush), then they will be giving the GOP a real issue to tie around
dumb Democrat necks.
Apparently, Bill Clinton did next to nothing about substituting
something benign for oil for eight f'ing years.
What the helle do energy office appoiointees do other than plunder
their g.d. expense accounts?
I do not vote Republican, and don't plan to in November; though Obama
should not be "imaged" as
an ineffective, procrastinating leader, because its obvious to me that
too many practical people will not vote for perceived incompetence and
inaction a la Bush II.
America & the rest of the World have had their time to line-up clean
alternatives to oil & natural gas, and the result is $140 a barrel
shite, and now $12 (a BTU?) natural gas which admittedly is not
considered as dirty as oil.
I apologize to green idyllics, while ordinary politiks-economics
ain't mumbly peg. |

Which changes _nothing_ for 99.999% of mankind.
A lot of old wells are petering out much faster than expected.

Geo exploitation always ends up impoverishing _any_ region.
Go to former boom towns Beaumont and Port Arthur, Texas.
Go to the coal towns in W.Va.
You'ld be better off in some small country with no geo resources and
only intellectual resources, Netherlands, Sweden, Israel.
Quote: I'd be against offshore drilling if we had done something substantive

Then the proper remedy is to finally do something substantive.
