Is McCain right that offshore drilling will solve all our oil problems forever?

McCain criticized Obama, saying ';He says it won't solve our problem... He's wrong.';





In other words, McCain is stating that offshore drilling WILL solve our problems. He believes that single act will ensure plentiful cheap oil forever.








Do you agree with McCain?

Is McCain right that offshore drilling will solve all our oil problems forever?
It will solve our problem right now, and give us 25 years to find alternative fuel sources.





Obama suggested we inflate our tires.





McCain said we do it all; drill, explore, invent, wind, solar, battery... all of it.





Obama suggested we tune up our cars.





Obama also suggested he would support drilling, but only if it is part of a ';comprehensive'; plan, but he won't spell out even a vaguely veiled plan.Is McCain right that offshore drilling will solve all our oil problems forever?
Obama said that the abortion issue was ';above his pay grade'; so drilling must be above his pay grade too using his logic.





McCain said Drilling has to be part of the puzzle that includes conservation, alternative energy, and Nuclear. You are twisting his words, just like the 100 year war in Iraq statement which was the troops could stay in the same way they have in Germany and Japan and South Korea as long as they are NOT engaged in battles.





So twist your little lies the public has open their eyes and Obama lies of who he is and what he is has been shown.






NO





Big Oil has proven sites leased out now - THAT THEY REFUSE TO DRILL. Thats right. Millions of acres of land they have leased the title to from the federal government. These sites are sitting idle.





Next, there are still over 68,000,000 drillable acres of federal land and offshore sites available for private companies to drill.





Big Oil is creating a distraction! They go on these Public Relations Campaigns to blame liberals, democrats and environmentalist. They do this to keep the average American off their backs.





Recap


- big oil has proven oil sites sitting idle


- big oil won't even lease the 68,000,000 acres of drillable land and offshore sites available (more land than the size of Colorado).


- big oil is making record profits.
McCain is a silly prick. All he will accomplish is putting more money into the pockets of US stockholders owning oil investments. McCain, Bush, %26amp; Cheney are the PROBLEM........not the solution .





McCain is already promising more of those BIG TAX BREAKS to the pirates who are stealing the money out of the pockets of the poor, disabled, and working class who are buying GAS for a hard day's work, and to those struggling to heat their homes .





McCain ( and his wife ) are silly PRICKS !!!
You're putting words in his mouth to fit your extremist views. Drilling domestic oil will buy us more time to work out alternatives, and make us less dependent (temporarily) on foreign oil. He never said the word ';forever,'; or even implied it.


If liberals would devote as much passion and energy into developing a workable, practical alternative to oil as they do attacking republicans, we'd be running cars on solar power by now. For the time being, like it or not, we need oil to keep our standard of living. I personally don't want to have to learn how to ride a horse to work. This is 2008, not 1850.When I can power my car with something other than oil, I'll be as happy as anyone else. For now, that's not possible.
No one is saying that oil is the only solution. Clearly it will run out at some point, or we'll be able to replace it with alternatives (but that will take at least 50 years). What he's saying is that it's a big part of the solution. We will need all of the energy we can get our hands on in order to satisfy our future demand. To say that oil is not part of the solution is what's ridiculous.
Where did you get the forever? He has repeatedly stated that all alternatives from our OWN oil to wind, solar and nuclear need to be utilized to make us an energy independent nation. Unlike the libs who want us to suffer for decades until the nation can transform over to those alternates.
Whether it would solve the problem forever is not the point. The point is to keep us all out of the poor house while the problem is being fixed.





This is what is behind all the no drilling crap.

I disagree with McCain. While his proposal seems accurate and generous as to how to act now to hold us off, offshore drilling sounds like it should be temporary rather than just relying on it. It's true; we are relying too much on foreign oil; however, we cannot just simply isolate ourselves from trading with nations.
That's insane. No one has stated this single event is going to solve all our problems. You'd put Washington out of a job. What he has stated, is we must start...START being the operative word. Would someone please give Mrs. Palosi a call, and wake her up?
McBush has a fight with T. Boone who says the opposite. ANY mining operation is finite. You have to use a biological process to convert previous sunlight to energy sustainably.
Of course not, but, even though I am a card carrying Liberal, I know we need to tap our own oil reserves until we have the alternative sources in place and working..we are an oil based economy, but that will soon change!
No oil %26amp; water don't mix
Where is the rest of the quote??
McCain says to drill offshore. Obama says no.





McCain says to build more nukes. Obama says no.





McCain says to build more refineries. Obama says no.





McCain says to research alternative fuels. Obama says ';OK, but we'll do handout programs first.'; We can all pay high gas prices in the meanwhile.





McCain's plan is some of everything. Obama is a lot of do nothing.
