  • orlandorays, on 02/28/2008, -1/+3Perhaps it's time to scrap the wind power and start drilling for more oil. We need more CO2 in the air to combat the coming global cooling anyway.
  • quackydog, on 02/28/2008, -1/+3There's TONS of oil under our feet in the US. I know, I used to work in the oil field in the US. Start drilling!!
  • PoKansasFarmer, on 02/28/2008, -1/+3Liberals do it again! "Must have renewable energy only!" We deliver ethanol, now they say they don't want it. So we rely on wind power, and the wind doesn't blow. Orlandorays is right, lets drill for damn oil!

    Time to drill for oil!!!!!!! Mine more coal, too!!!!
