So, your solution for getting us out of the mess oil dependence has put us in is to... drill for more oil! Wow, we could drill into the continental shelf and get enough oil to meet America's demand for a whole 110 years? Now THAT'S not a band-aid solution! I also love how you throw CO2 in there as an afterthought, as if destroying the climate of the planet we live on was some trifling inconvenience. You're right that we have broken it. Using chewing gum to try and patch it back together is not fixing it. Pure idiocy.

I am sick of Democrats who continue to blame Republicans for the high oil prices (not that Republicans are blameless). There is so much ignorance and stupidity on basic market theory, system theory and blind environmental ideologies. Yes, I agree completely.
