Drill
Petroleum is a major part of America’s energy picture. Shall we get it here or abroad?

By Sarah Palin

Given that we’re spending billions of stimulus dollars to rebuild our highways, it makes sense to think about what we’ll be driving on them. For years to come, most of what we drive will be powered, at least in part, by diesel fuel or gasoline. To fuel that driving, we need access to oil. The less use we make of our own reserves, the more we will have to import, which leads to a number of harmful consequences. That means we need to drill here and drill now.

We rely on petroleum for much more than just powering our vehicles: It is essential in everything from jet fuel to petrochemicals, plastics to fertilizers, pesticides to pharmaceuticals. According to the Energy Information Administration, our total domestic petroleum consumption last year was 19.5 million barrels per day (bpd). Motor gasoline and diesel fuel accounted for less than 13 million bpd of that. Meanwhile, we produced only 4.95 million bpd of domestic crude. In other words, even if we ran all our vehicles on something else (which won’t happen anytime soon), we would still have to depend on imported oil. And we’ll continue that dependence until we develop our own oil resources to their fullest extent. (...)

(...) In the end, energy independence is not just about the environment or the economy. It’s about freedom and confidence. It’s about building a more secure and peaceful America, an America in which our energy needs will not be subject to the whims of nature, currency speculators, or madmen in possession of vast oil reserves.

Alternative sources of energy are part of the answer, but only part. There’s no getting around the fact that we still need to “drill, baby, drill!” And if those in D.C. say otherwise, we need to tell them: “Yes, we can!” [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link.

We import three times as much oil from Canada and Mexico than we do the Middle East...and Saudi Arabia is supposed to be our friend.

We don't get a discount for drilling in our own back yard. So why risk destroying our environment???

Sarah is a bonehead.

If you want cheap oil, invade the middle east and take the oil wells, not the poppy fields of Afghanistan.

Save the planet, kill yourself. But only if you listen to Fox News.

Obviously you have no friggin' clue about oil extraction other than what's on CNN.......

Crude=$$$$$$$......If that $$$$$ is on the ground or in the water...you think the oil companies are going to let that $$$$$$$$ sit there?
