If the oil compaies sre so eager to drill, why aren't they drilling all over the off-shore areas already open to them but unused? <br>Neither have they prepared by investing in the ships, equipment and experts needed for drilling.<br>It couldn't be that hey're waiting for taxpayers to foot the bill again, could it?<br>Making hefty campaign contributions may be cheaper than getting serious about drilling, I guess.</p><p>McCains charade may be a winner. But if voters fall for it, we'll all be the losers.<br>We'll waste too much of scarce money on appearances while letting the chance of a lifetime slide by to finally get this country into the modern age of new energy realities.<br>I have the same feeling and conviction as I did before the Iraq war, when I kept saying : don't do it, don't do it. We made a big mistake then, and I fear we'll make a big mistake now, by falling for McCain's antics.<br></p>runasimFri, 20 Jun 2008 05:44:06 -0000
