T. Boone Pickens Slams Drill-Only Republicans

[drchaffee]

Yeah, "Do Everything" should make all the special interests happy. But, there should be a prioritized list. According to Pickens: "Oil is getting more expensive to produce, harder to find and there just isn't enough of it to keep up with demand." How much does it cost to add domestic oil capacity, and when does it come on line? Overall are we better to put more emphasis on natural gas and wind? Haven't seen much info on that score.

There are NO "drill-only" republicans that I could find in my web searches. They're all saying do EVERYTHING....drill, nukes, solar, wind, etc... Just like Mr. Pickens now says in his latest ads. But there are all kinds of "NO DRILL" democrats that don't want us using ANY carbon-based fuel whatsoever. That even rules out wood for your fireplace. I'll take my chances with the republicans on this one.

Republicans don't know what they're talking about. This is a consistent theme.
