I am also convinced that this runup to $4.00 gasoline in kicking in a ton of innovation and science in favor of more renewable energy. It seems every day we get another story about another break-thru. I'm with Mr. Puckett though, I'm worried that government will get in the way, and regulate us right back to the dark ages. One I found today http://nwiconnect.blogspot.com/2008/06/energy-as-next-manhattan-project.html Just think what enviro wackos like Donnely would do with that kind of project to slow it down, maybe find some wetlands, or an butterfly to protect, or let some trial lawyers sue them out of existence before they can bring the project to profits.

Apparently someone is doing exploration out there, but not drilling. Cheney is still asserting that China has contracts and this is disputed, though I am not sure of anyone's true source on this. http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=/Nation/archive/200806/NAT20080613b.html Once again, this is an irrelevant distraction from the real issues out there.

First, the link that they use to back up their information is a link to a leftist rag that passess off liberal talking points from the 1960s and '70s as serious news and comentary. It's hardly a credible source. Secondly, even as recently as this month the respected Investor's Business Daily (a publication more credible than the one mentioned above) has commented on the alliance between Cuba and China and the off-shore drilling project. http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=297904745555169&kw=China,Cuba,oil http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=297645188487872&kw=China,Cuba,oil http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=296435488187160&kw=China,Cuba,oil Disclosure, I am the Deputy Communications Director for Luke Puckett for Congress.

The Dems still tell Bush to go to OPEC and get them to increase capacity, but are unwilling to increase domestic capacity. I don't care if the Chinese (or Cubans) were drilling or not. IT JUST MAKES SENSE FOR US TO DRILL. But you are complaining about pretty much the smallest point in Mr. Puckett's argument. Care to take on the larger points of the argument?
