What valid reason is there not to find and develop as many available domestic and off shore oil and natural gas reserves as possible?
1. Replace imported fossil fuels with domestic supplies;
2. Replace coal with cleaner oil and gas; and,
3. Export fossil fuels to China, Japan and other developing world suppliers of manufactured goods, in order to reduce the trade deficit and provide domestic employment.
This has NOTHING to do with CC, ACC, AGW, GW, GC, AGC, blah, blah, blah…
