Drill Baby Drill!!

What ever happened to “Drill Baby Drill”?

John Hofmeister, founder and CEO of the non-profit group Citizens for AFFordable Energy and former CEO of Shell Oil, keeps sounding the alarm but no one seems to be listening. As recently as February 24 he appeared on Parker Spitzer saying what he has said before. In addition he said we have plenty of oil within the United States; we just don’t want to deal with the messy business of extraction.

The price of gasoline continues to rise. So what is the Obama administration doing about it? What should it do? Listen to John Hofmeister’s comments on this and likelihood of $4 a gallon gasoline this year.

 

The AP reported today “Oil prices climbed Tuesday as Iran clamped down on anti-government protesters and unrest in the Middle East threatened to keep energy prices high for months to come.”

What will it take to change our objections to utilizing our own resources? Perhaps the answer is gasoline at $5.00 per gallon.
