I don't understand why the news coverage about the Bush administration's/Republican push to drill in the Alaskan reserve is so lax. I have only seen one show where they even began to explore the issue(MSNBC 'Hardball'). If we start drilling in Alaska it will be at least 5 years until gas prices are lessened. Not to mention how it might damage the National Wildlife Reserve there.
Also, is drilling even addressing the real issue? Isn't the real issue that we are running out of oil? Aren't we finally facing the consequences of our cherished American lifestyle? How and why are we so short sighted and greedy? Do people care about the future of their progeny? Are they banking on a miracle or the second coming? I'm confused, disenfranchised, and sad.
The only point of light I can see is Senator Obama's alternative energy/economic plan. Thank goodness someone isn't afraid to address the real issues.
