Long term Energy Strategy: A comedy

“Drill Baby Drill”
That was the mantra at the Republican National Convention.

They have been dishonest or disingenuous with voters in promoting expanded drilling rights as some kind of panacea.

Have they not watched the oil market all their lives? They must be, since they claim they are the party of free and unfettered markets. Republicans MUST know that the volume in the oil market is peaking (for all time even) and no amount of drilling is going to keep up.

Look at the shocking truth of the chart in this post that inspired me to write:A Picture is Worth… Why Offshore Drilling Won’t Help Anymore

The supporters of drilling are truly in the dark. They really do think this is going to be an important reason to elect McCain.

Lack of information or misinformation?

Its odd how the party that claims to champion free and open markets has stooped to this. Its disturbing to me that they may get McCain elected in the same way Bush did, with this form of dangerous, stupid populism.

More Business as usual. I think the McCain campaign and the Republican party are rotten for allowing this attitude and need to leave.
