Issue the (expletive deleted) permits already!!

Seriously. Just issue a drilling permit and let's see what happens. I mean, we've got major turmoil in N. Africa and the Middle East, the price of oil is up about 30% in the last few months, and we still have not issued a drilling (deepwater) permit since BP was kind enough to pollute the entire GOM. And while we're discussing BP, I'd just like to say a hearty "Fuck You" to the good people of BP, or at least their top execs who were fiddling while Rome burned. Now I realize that additional drilling won't really solve these problems, but at least we would be trying. Right now, it seems like we aren't even trying. And, let's face it, alt energy sounds good in theory, but it absolutely isn't going to solve our problems unless everyone in the US and the other developed countries are willing to make MAJOR lifestyle changes. I personally am not, at least not unless someone can shoe me in clear detail what I need to do and how it needs to be done.

Later
