How much more pain must Americans endure before Washington lets the oil companies punch a few holes in the Alaskan tundra?
Must we shiver pennilessly in the dark before we may extract new domestic petroleum deposits? Or shall we simply keep buying $116 barrels of oil from people who want us dead?
In case Congress missed the news, four U.S. airlines have gone broke during this month alone. Independent truckers have staged work stoppages to showcase their plight.
At a Beltway service station featured in the Washington Times, a sign taped to the pumps read; "We Apologize for the Price of Gas. We DO NOT have any control over the high price of gasoline. We Are Sincerely Sorry."
Faced with this real human suffering, the Democratic Congress merely whines about oil companies' "obscene" corporate profits.
We will welcome the day when planes, trains, and automobiles can operate on fuel squeezed from shredded junk mail and pulverized rap CDs. The International Energy Agency's 2007 World Energy Outlook forecasts that fossil fuels will still generate 82 percent of Earth's energy in 2030, with 9 percent from biomass. Solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, and other renewable sources will satisfy just 2 percent of demand.
Refined petroleum propels vehicles today, and yet oil languishes beneath our sovereign soil, even as Americans go jobless and our republic meanders into recession. Will we finally grow up and harness our resources, or will we childishly weep over imaginary threats to wildlife, dispatch supertankers of cash to the Middle East, and watch our petrodollars sponsor bomb belts and exploding aircraft?
Merely asking this question illustrates how desperately this nation needs adult supervision.

its not just alaska, we can't even drill off the coast of US with the exception of texas and a few gulf coast states, in great lakes canada can drill on their side but US can't on ours?? only way to protect yourself against rising oil and gasoline costs for me was to buy some E&P stocks in january and feburary and sell middle of summer for the last 4 yrs in a row. Profit has more than covered the cost for all the summer driving and boat gas at these prices that are more insane every year.
