in The solution to the offshore drilling question… on Christopher S. Penn's Awaken Your Superhero
Interesting... But misfounded... Our generation's debt is our own to carry. Saddling drillers with more needless distractions and expense is no way to compete. Opening up drilling areas will help (ten years from now). We need alternative energy designs now. We need the public to understand its not the oil companies who are at fault. We are simply consuming more petroleum products than can be supplied.

I agree we need new ideas and applaud your enthusiasm. Until we can get everyone to understand the economics behind this issue we will continue to suffer... Just my two cents...

Christopher S. Penn Oh, I totally agree on alternative power sources. Hell, I use a solar battery to charge my laptop (Xantrex power pack). Small-scale production of solar and wind energy is affordable, practical, and available today. That's why I motioned for this to be used against the national debt - we should be focusing present day resources on alternative solutions now.
