More than once at the Republican National Convention tonight the audience started chanting "Drill baby drill!!!!" They want to put an oil rig in everyone's back yard. How quaint! Whatever happened to the "conserve" in conservative?
Someone needs to deliver Republicans this memo: We can't drill our way out of our dependence on oil. We could drill everywhere but because there is a finite supply we would eventually run out. There are two choices: 1) Find an alternative to oil now (walking, biking, electricity, compressed air, car pooling, public transit, etc etc etc) or 2) Ruin our environment by drilling everywhere, run out of oil in a few decades anyway, and then find an alternative to oil.
I'll take door number one.
