@ObamaComma - The Tobacco industry is a billion dollar industry too, and the pron industry is quite profitable as well, but that hardly means the government should be promoting these industries. The "Oil business" is in no better position than either of these. The voters have to stop voting to subsidize this industry and get off of oil, and if Republicans wish to criticize Obama, then they need to come up with a plan that is even more aggressive, or get out of the way.
@ObamaComma (cont) There is a program to redirect this economic activity into what America needs more of called cap and trade, but there is not a single Republican who supports anything but more drilling, and more dependency on oil, to the extreme of calling all scientists "Liars" and "Conspirators", in order to avoid admitting what it is doing to the environment. How do you justify this in your mind? And consider this either smart or "patriotic"? It's certianly not in America's interest?
@buriedxmemories - The oil spill will keep people busy and employed for a decade. But, you have to realize at some point, economics have to be redirected to green energy, for the sake of America's national security. People that work on oil rigs, can also work in windmill assembly factories, make solar panels, build geo-thermal plants, and ethynol plants. (cont)
