Alternative Energy is for Pinheads!

Certainly keep drilling, but is there something wrong with, as you so quaintly put it, covering all your bases? Energy conservation, alternative fuels, etc. were not suddenly dreamed up by people you so misguidedly and incorrectly call Liberals. Many of the ideas came from inventors and entrepreneurs and scientists, some working in their own back yards, as it were.
It is only comparatively recently that party politics has become a tool with which to beat your most creative people.
It's another example of the naivete of many Americans, that they can only think in terms of black and white, good or bad, us and them. It is very immature and it seems to me, from the position of an observer, that while your right wing are the most vociferous against good sense, your left wing must also shoulder some of the blame.
I just wonder for how many years you will be narrowing your sights, how many more years will antagonism and beligerence rule American life?
It is not natural and it eats away at some of you like a cancer. It drags you back and it keeps you back.

Alternative energy is just something to distract americans from the need to obtain fossil fuels.

"it is foolish to ask for more domestic drilling.....if we started now it would be ten years before we got any new oil"

dude, that "one" is hardly enough.....the article says that it's intended to produce 500MW (actually BFGN's article pegs it at under 400) so that's maybe enough for a hundred thousand cars......

Right; are you telling me there were 100,000 cars in the picture dixette posted?

Right, might as well burn all the oil now, we will not need any for manufacturing in the future right.

Some day our generation will be cursed at by humanity for using up all the oil, by BURNING it. You are so retarded, and shorstsighted.

How do you know that scientists may not one day discover the Earth actually 'makes' oil? How do you know future generations won't be laughing their asses off at you, believing we would "run out" of oil? I can remember some liberal yahoo back in 1972, proclaiming we would run out of oil in the next 20 years.... but that didn't happen! There is still plenty of it! This whole "run out of oil" thing has been going on for decades, and I suppose it will continue on for decades, because we seem to keep breeding liberal idiots!

Just for your information, and to save you from the tedium of repetition, apart from a couple of crowns my teeth are straight and my own, I am 6'2, not overweight (bmi 24) and am quite proud to say I have no need of a car. Furthermore I live in a city that is amongst the most modern (and expensive) in the world, have nearly a mile of golden, tree lined beech about 7 or 8 minutes easy stroll from my home, overlook a beautiful marina and thoroughly enjoy my retirement.
I have never hit anyone in anger and certainly never killed anyone. I do not own, or want to own, a gun.
So, toothless - no. Carless - most definitely. British - quite obviously.

Toppy, I have a lot of time for you but sometimes you are a bit of a prick. We have a shitload of windfarms, whether they are cost effective is a different story. The Severn Barrage which makes perfect sense, in my opinion, has been canned. By the way, what the fuck has happened to Apple shares?
