How is there an "about-face on domestic and North American energy production"? Do you mean oil wells, or shale oil exploration rape of prisitine lands as your scam article describes? As long as I remember Republicans have been for destroying America for every little drop of oil, Democrats not.
This does not benefit "right and left". As I've already proven, it's a pit bull with lipstick.
It is a Pit Bull with lipstick. Cut down a few Truffula Trees, what could be the harm?
I understand where Mike is coming from though. Getting as far away from dependence on middle east oil, taking their hold on the situation, out of the equation...is very appealing.
A few Truffula Trees? Independence? A few Truffula Trees? Independence?
But, it's never ends up being...just a few...does it?
If we had taken alternative energies seriously, we might need a few less Truffula Trees for that Independence.
But we're Americans...we don't do "balance" well. We usually need shit to blow up first, rummage through the pieces, point fingers...then SORTA address things.
