And so what if we drill, drill, drill. Then what? Will the price of oil and fuel go down? I doubt it.
People can do what they want. In my case, I want to go solar as soon as possible. Electricity has never gone down in price. I don't care what it costs me short term, in the long term it will pay off.
No more doubts and no more promises. I will take care of myself.
Good point: only you can take care of yourself and yours.
Generating your own electricity is something that almost anyone can do. Homeowners can put up roof or garden systems. Even the small area of an RV can accomodate about 500 watts of generating capacity. Right now that's pretty expensive capital outlay for a citizen: about $2000-$2500. PVs cost about $4-5 per watt (cf. harborfreight for 45 watt panel at $200, $180 on sale). But nanosolar.com expects to get that down to $1 with their manufacturing system.
"drill drill" doesn't work because 'we' don't have any drilling machines nor do we control them. And they are expensive. The oil cos. control the oil rigs. The only way we can "drill drill" is to nationalize the oil industry.
