Why don't we drill in Anwar and find out how much oil is there? You're using talking points from the left.

The point is--this country will NEVER be completely energy independent--we will ALWAYS need oil. Wind and solar alone is not going to power this country.

Our electric utility companies are mostly oil--natural gas and coal fired. That's how the lights turn on across this country. This is how Obama works. Make it miserable for the American public--then subsidize the auto industry in his cash for clunkers program--with taxpayer dollars--and then find out that most of the new cars that were subsidized were manufactured by foreign auto makers--

Then the icing on the cake: Changing the electric grid. Experts in the field stated they needed 110 billion out of the so-called economic stimulus bill to complete it--and they only got 11 billion. Then we sent 20 billion dollars to China out of the stimulus bill so they could build wind turbines for us.

You voted for it--you got it.

I believe most all the oil fired electric plants have been converted to coal or natural gas. All this windmill and solar stuff is not cutting one drop of our oil consumption.
