Quote of the Day - Drill Our Way Out Edition
July 19, 2008That’s a perfectly sensible question. To say that we can’t drill our way out of an impending oil shortage is of course exactly like saying you can’t eat your way out of hunger, you can’t warm your way out of hypothermia, and you can’t drink your way out of thirst. - Lyle, blogging at Joe Huffman’s
Exactly right. While there is probably some point in time that the Earth cannot supply enough oil, most of the estimates I have heard put that centuries in the future. While there may be better energy sources out there, we need something to bridge the gap between now and those alternatives being perfected. To think that the free market will suddenly stop working, and the law of supply and demand be repealed is crazy. Drilling the oil that we have is the best way to deal with the issues we are seeing.

Battle of the Enviro-whackos
April 22, 2008PETA is taking on Al Gore. Apparently, creating a cult following denouncing everyone else’s contribution to global warming while flying around the country in a private jet, and producing energy wasting concerts to raise awareness of “Climate Change” isn’t enough. Fox News reports that PETA is now ripping Gore for not embracing a vegetarian lifestyle, saying that raising animals produces too much in the way of carbon emissions. Considering Gore’s well publicized anti-environmental activities, including his pool, three houses, and touring in a private jet, (Wall Street Journal, USAToday) I have a feeling that PETA is going to have a tough time shaming Gore into changing his ways.

I hope you feel better…
March 30, 2008Well, If you turned off your lights for “Earth Hour,” you can rest easy knowing you did your part by reducing your electricity consumption by 1/8760th for the year. Unless you left your refrigerator running, at which point it isn’t quite that much… but you turned off your computer, right? You know, your cell phone and iPod are using energy which will have to be replaced, too…
