Drilling for Ideology
I'm amazed by how only one in four Republicans in California worries about global warming as a serious threat, while half of independents and seven out of ten Democrats feel it's a big deal. Are we all reporting to different science labs each morning? No, we report to different political echo chambers each morning.
That's a nice way to mess up our children's world (well, your children; I'm gratefully progeny-free). Expanded drilling may be a short-term solution, but it's not as good a solution as curbing demand and taxing those arrogant Hummer drivers back to the Stone Age.
