You stupid environmentalists!

I got this e-mail from my grandfather-in-law today and this article straight up pissed me off.

Even if they did drill for oil to keep gas prices down, it would only delay it a few more years, then the price would shoot up again. Then what are they going to do when we're about to run out of oil? It's not a renewable resource.

My hubs is going to drool over that. Too bad we don't have $600 a month to drop on it. Though I suppose it might be easier to afford without having to pay over $4.50 for gas, eh?

I really don't see what's wrong with paying $10/gallon for gasoline. I mean, it'll suck, and the faster it happens, the more it will suck... but so will the air in 10 years if we keep polluting at a $4/gallon rate.

The problem is that our public transport system is crap outside of major cities! And even in DC, the system is not that great; its constantly breaking and no one wants to give the money to the system that it needs for repairs needed now even as ridership keeps increasing rapidly.

Unfortunately our country is not designed for public transit, but we have to figure out something soon.

Agreed! I take public transport whenever possible, but I live way out in the 'burbs and have to drive to get to it. I'd love to bike to work or to the store, but that's not an option since I'm not suicidal. (Narrow, winding 'country' roads with no shoulder, traveled by a high volume of SUVs and pickups going sixty--no thanks!)

Hopefully that's where things are going to change soon. Hopefully

I was reading some article that said more drilling is going to take like .30 off the price and probably not until 2039 or something.

We need to focus on alternative modes of transportation and fuel!!

The email makes it sound like we are sitting on a huge oil resource and the rivers would run black if only we would drill! The only people who would benefit from offshore drilling are the oil companies, and the people who construct the drills.

What a charming organization the AFA is. On the face, hey seem mostly concerned with the "homosexual agenda", but that's apparently just a good way to get Evangelicals on board with them, so they can send them emails like this and get them to do the bidding of the Republican elite.
