So there you have it. John McCain is four-square for recovering our offshore oil resources because we need them so badly, except that he wants the ban against recovering them to continue. In any case, he’ll defer to state legislators, some of whom don’t realize that scarcity and demand are related.
While we’re pondering all this, I’ll remind readers that offshore drilling may become moot if McCain succeeds in getting his insane cap and trade system for limiting carbon dioxide emissions through Congress and signs it into law. If, God forbid, this should ever happen, federal energy commissars would not let us use the offshore oil we’ve finally had the sense to recover.
Boy, it sure takes a lot of energy sometimes to understand energy policy.
