Oil Drilling - No time like the present
The comments to this article are quite interesting.
The one about putting bumper stickers on every gas pump struck me as a reasonable idea, except for security cameras and defacing laws...

Patrick J. Casey writes at the American Thinker:
"Blame for the rise of gasoline prices (and everything else dependent on petroleum) is a political commodity right now, with each side seeking to hold the other culpable. The Democrats are avoiding their traditional environmental arguments for good reason.
If the voters see environmentalists, tree-huggers, and their Democratic political minions as causing $4 or $5 dollar a gallon gasoline, along with the rise in consumer prices across the board because of the increase of the cost of oil used as an ingredient in many products, they will blame the Democrats.
And frustration with environmentalism is starting to show up in the polls, which are indicating an increasing call for domestic drilling from the American public."
