Drilling for crude

President Bush recently passed an executive order allowing the US to drill offshore. Finally!!! Just speaking those words dropped crude oil $7.00. I just can't wait for us to start drilling as it would further drop the price.

The only obstacle is Congress, led by Speaker Pelosi who is totally against it. Hopefully San Francisco can see the light on this subject and vote her out of office, but they are a little nuts down there in California.

Regardless, one day we will enjoy the fruits of our labors and pay less for it. And I do understand all the liberals out there want fuelless cars and such. Or Hybrids for that matter, but when a car can only move 40 miles on one charge, it's not worth buying.

We have to be realistic on matters such as this. Nuclear Plants are good. Wind and Solar Energy are good as well... but when you come to the immediate need of the nation and what drives people from point A to B, or heating your home... be real. Think for godsake. A combination of stuff is best. And another positive of Drilling here is that we would no longer have to depend on the Mideast for oil anymore.

Enough said.
