You miss the salient point CD. Oil is here and now. Renewable is, to this point a pipe dream. Allowing drilling in no way HAS to reduce or otherwise impact the search for renewable resources. Rather than costing the taxpayers money, as the highly subsidized plans for renewables does, it generates revenue.
70% of our oil usage is for transportation. That includes the trucks, trains and airplanes that carry the goods and supplies we need. As I asked Rick, how long do you think the Florida citrus industry would last if they didn't have a timely way to ship their products? Or what would the people of Vermont do for fresh food?
One doesn't have to be against finding renewable energy sources while advocating making use of what we currently have. Basing your future on a hope and a prayer though is just what you're saying.
