Drill Drill Drill

[aka: a dugga dugga dugga]

From the Reno News and Review, July 10-16, ’08 (grabbed one before leaving Tahoe)

While some politicians and lobbyists are calling for increased oil drilling to relieve pains at the gas pump, the New York Times reports this: “A recent study by the federal government’s Energy Information Administration estimate that under the best-case scenario, opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would reduce prices by $1.44 a barrel by 2027.

That’s a barrel, not a gallon.

The article continues: “Drilling in broader swaths off the continental United States wouldn’t affect prices until 2030.”

What is it going to take for us to stop depending on relics and antiquated sources of power and finally start researching, innovating and using more alternative sources of power?
