Video: Harry Reid says energy makes him sick
Harry Reid declared surrender for our economy last night. If anyone has any doubts about the Democratic direction on energy policy, this should dispel them for all time:
This isn’t some fringe character, some crazy uncle that one has in the attic. This is one of the Democratic Party’s leadership explaining why he and his party will never allow for extensive increases in domestic supply for coal and oil, the two leading sources of energy in the US, along with natural gas. “Coal makes us sick. Oil makes us sick. It’s global warming. It’s ruining our country, it’s ruining our world. We’ve got to stop using fossil fuel.”
That would be great, except that no other mass-market solutions exist. Even nuclear power would take several years to implement, and Reid opposes nuclear. He wants wind and solar, even though neither have mass-production capabilities and we still haven’t solved the storage problem for alternative-sourced electricity. He thinks that we’d be better off without energy at all, rather than “making us sick” by producing coal and oil to meet current demands.
Feel like surrendering and having our economy redeploy over an event horizon to satisfy this Luddite? Vote Democratic and watch your energy bills keep skyrocketing — or vote Republican and get a sane energy policy instead.

Yeah that guy had some pretty weak things to say and wasn't very convincing.
Didn't we already come to the conclusion that drilling at home doesn't lower oil prices because of the speculation? You act as if we are going to die if we don't drill because our 'demands aren't met'. The supply is there to meet the demand, there is no shortage its just too damn expensive. What has to happen is the speculators have to be held accountable who run with the Big 5 (PhillipsConco,BP ,Chevron, Shell, ExxonMobile)who have control of the oil we are already drilling here at home.

All the Democrats had to do to win big in November was run out the clock on this year!
can they do it?
All the Republicans have to do is keep whiping out their pair of Ace's (Oil and Iraq) will they do it?

Under McCain's assumption of 21 billion barrels of oil in the banned areas (Including offshore drilling in Florida which McCain now supports in a reversal of position. He use to oppose such drilling)-- higher than the Department of Energy's estimation of 18 billion barrels -- there is still only enough to support America's total consumption, at 7.5 billion barrels per year, for three years. Which he said we wouldn't feel immediately for price cuts but in the long term. It would probably have a similar effect to the estimates of drilling in ANWR which would lower the prices about .75 cents per barrel.

Your party agrees with me. Have you heard Newt speak recently? Except he still wants to drill despite price speculation.
