“…hydroelectric, solar and geothermal energy, thus mitigating the environmental effects of energy production."

Hydroelectric?????? Where did that come from? Are you taking about the mythical ocean wave systems? I have not heard of plans to build more dams. I doubt that the greenies would allow it.

Solar is not a 24/7 system. I know you have no clue what that means. Even the ones that store energy will not be considered 24/7 system. At the most you can hope for solar is that it can supplement regular systems but one cannot not rely on solar to be used for core energy needs.

For example, you have a requirement to generate during the summer peak time 100,000 units of energy. Let’s say you have a solar system that can generate 200,000 during the day and store 100,000 for use at night. What happens if the sun does not shine for a week? You are screwed. You could not store enough energy at a cost effective means to handle such situations. You can have backup non-solar system to provide the 100,000 units of energy, like a coal plant. But does your little brain understand having a backup system that large is foolishly expensive and wasteful.

This is what solar will be used for. During the hot summer months, they will run the real power plants, like coal, nuclear and natural gas, at 80% capacity. They will use solar to supplement. It still is very silly and expensive. But to you please people like you, this will happened. It will cause higher utility bills, but heck you guys like that.

I am OK with geothermal. It does have some downsides. Geothermal power plants, like in Nevada, will be spread out over large tracts of pristine wilderness areas. It usually releases sulfuric gases into the air which will stink up the neighborhood but if there are in located in wilderness then I guess that does not matter. Over time the robustness of a geothermal plant will diminished and for economic reasons the plant will be shut down. The huge cooling towers that will dot the wilderness will hopefully be removed. The heat source will diminished over time because it is being consumed by the geothermal plant, therefore geothermal plants are not considered to be renewable energy system.

"Why hasn't Bush released his Executive Moratorium on offshore drilling?"

Again you are stating a red herring.

There are two bans on offshore drilling. One is by executive order and the other is a law passed by Congress.

Even if Bush did an executive order it could not override the law passed by Congress.

"Get us off the oil standard and the problem goes away..."

You really no absolutely no clue what you are talking about.

The best current electric car goes 200 miles and needs a re-charge. It takes 10-12 hours to re-charge. It only holds 2 people with a storage area the size of bread box. It has no radio and a very poor AC system.

They have been at trying to build better electric cars for about 15 years now. You have no freaking clue on long it will take to build one that is useful.

If we exchange an electric car for each gas car then you have no freaking idea how many new power plants that would require. It would probably require hundreds of new power plants. Again, you have no freaking clue do you.

I guess you think you can snap your fingers and get that within 10 years or something.

At the minimum even in your imaginary drug induced world, it will take 40 to 50 years to even hope that this magically world will come to place.

What are you going to do? Are you going to require every person to buy a new electric car? Where is that money coming from? How much money is it going to take to develop a good electric car? How much money to build the hundreds of new power plants?

You have no freaking clue what you are doing to this country.

You guys should just scream every 5 years: "NO DRILLLING. NO DRILLING....IT WILL TAKE YEARS TO SEE THE BENEFIT".

Play that record over and over and over and over again.

Eventually your crazy absolute "NO DRILLING" will create an economnic mess in this country if it has not already started.

I hope the voters will remember your screaming "NO DRILLING" each time one of them loses a job because of YOU!

You do not understand that people are losing their jobs in Las Vegas because of high gas prices.

You do not understand that is occuring accross the country.

I know that you and your buddies, Reid and Obama, do not care about the people losing jobs.

What is your solution? You have no solution.

During that time, you will just play that record,
"NO DRILLLING. IT WILL TAKE YEARS TO SEE THE BENEFIT"
"NO DRILLLING. IT WILL TAKE YEARS TO SEE THE BENEFIT"
"NO DRILLLING. IT WILL TAKE YEARS TO SEE THE BENEFIT"
"NO DRILLLING. IT WILL TAKE YEARS TO SEE THE BENEFIT"
"NO DRILLLING. IT WILL TAKE YEARS TO SEE THE BENEFIT"
"NO DRILLLING. IT WILL TAKE YEARS TO SEE THE BENEFIT"
.....while Amercians lose jobs.

Here Obama says about higher gas prices, "I think that I would have preferred a gradual adjustment"...so he wishes upon on the hard workers higher gas prices. He just does not want a big jump but a constant steady increase in price.

He is your leader not mine.
