Does This Mean Kerry Will Support More Drilling?

Nope. ANWAR is to be forever pristine. And they will be no more oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico. Kerry will make us independent of foreign oil as all Democrats would, with hot air.

“There are two reasons why we cannot be asleep at the wheel during this current energy crisis,” Kerry said in the weekly Democratic radio address. “First, soaring energy prices are putting our economy at risk and second, our dependence on Middle East oil is putting our national security at risk. But it doesn’t have to be this way.”

In the short term, the Massachusetts senator said, the United States should divert oil being used to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and bring it to market. The White House says, though, that would have only a negligible impact on pump prices. Kerry also said the country’s leaders should demand that Saudi Arabia and other oil-producing nations increase supply.

Even the New York Times knows that the strategic oil reserve ploy is bullshit. As for forcing OPEC to lower prices - how? Threaten them?

And of course there are those imaginary alternative fuels and laws that would require violations of the first law of thermodynamics.

He said his long-term strategy as president would include investments in alternative fuels and new technologies that are more fuel-efficient. He said he would establish tax credits to help make fuel-efficient cars more affordable.
