I believe we are way past ignoring that we need to develop alternative energy sources into the future. I personally can not wait until I have my own personal little "Mr Fusion" powering my home and cars, but until that time we still need to be realistic. While we need to continue our quest for energy sources outside of oil there is no reason to destroy America in the meantime with oil that is overvalued and a supply that in the short run needs to be increased..

There is one thing for sure, if we do not in the short run start replacing oil supplies to carry us over the next 10 to 30 years prices will soar beyond our wildest imagination. So lets be smart and realize that we need it all right now and to deny that just does not make any sense.

So put your partisan opinions to the side and lets just do what is needed for America and Americans. We all know with the people we have working on this we will have technologies in the next 30 years that will make it seem like we just stepped into a Star Trek movie, but until then our National Security and our economy ( as well as our Camaros and Corvettes) are far to much at risk to think that we can weather this in the meantime without drilling for natural gas and oil right now.
