I'm liberal in a lot of ways but I support drilling if we have additional domestic refining capacity to make a difference. As for Nuclear - I think it is clean, renewable and safe. We also need to transition to solar, wind, fuel cell, etc...
What we need more than anything is to be as energy independent as possible. I hate giving my money, ultimately, to people who want to see us brought down. From a National Security point of view alone the above should be given the status of the Space Race.

Using algae to produce ethanol seems to hold great promise and can help stabilize the grain markets. If I'm not mistaken crude oil is a byproduct of algae being buried under great pressure for millions, if not billions of years.

So where do you get the notion that it is a liberal agenda to hurt the country by forcing people to pay more for energy?

What it really is, is the "NIMBY Syndrome". You know - not in my backyard.
