you won't mind if we bury the nuclear waste in your backyard right? It would be so much more efficient for them to haul it to your house than to ship it across the U.S. to Yucca Mountain.

And why not increase our refining capacity now? Surely the oil companies can see that in ten years time when the first of those new offshore or ANWR fields starts producing reliably they will need it. (Don't worry about your costs for fuel and electricity and other things that will keep rising for the next ten years while they bring those fields up to production though, we'll all be stinkin' rich when they come in...oh darn, that's right...we don't own those fields or the companies that will make the profits...oh well) Why drill now, and then try to play catch up when they are having to store massive quantities of oil because the infrastructure is still not there? Oh, that's right, because the oil companies would have to cut into their profits to make capital investments in infrastructure, unless they can get another Republican in office to give them massive tax breaks and government subsidies to build said refineries. Not that ANY of the so-called oil reserves are actually there...for all we know right now, none of those prospective fields will produce one drop of oil for sure.

But you go on and dream your little dream of free-flowing rivers of oil from the sea and Alaska...meanwhile try to not get in the way as the rest of us push on towards creating energy sources that do not rely on other countries, nor that pose the serious risk of damaging the marine environment so badly that we no longer can eat the fish of the sea which provide us with much of our food nowadays. You didn't really like lobster dinners all that much anyways did ya?

Who says 10 years before we start to see any of the off shore or ANWAR crude? That's one of the bigger Liberal myths.

The source of that "liberal myth" is Bush's own Department of Energy:

The projections in the OCS access case indicate that access to the Pacific, Atlantic, and eastern Gulf regions would not have a significant impact on domestic crude oil and natural gas production or prices before 2030. Leasing would begin no sooner than 2012, and production would not be expected to start before 2017.

Who says 10 years before we start to see any of the off shore or ANWAR crude? That's one of the bigger Liberal myths. We could start seeing it in as little as 12 - 15 months, more likely 2 - 3 years.

Care to substantiate this bullshit? Did Rush tell you so? Come on, some links to independent authoritative sources will do. Or is that another "Wingnut BS Dittohead GOP myth"? (wow, that name calling works both ways!)

It sure sounds like it and you do use ALL the ditto head memes and talking points. And where else but there or Free Republic are you gonna get such inaccurate drivel?
Come on and validate with links to reputable independent sources.
And since you feel so free to throw around labels on people as derogatory jabs I was quite sure you wouldn't mind someone else doing the same to you.
I realize I've gotten down in the gutter with you conversationally but I'm down here with you to chastise and encourage climbing back up that slippery slope of demagoguery gutter you've fall into.
We can talk issues better without the slime and slurs and labels, wouldn't you say?
I just hope I'm not wasting my time. Casting pearls before swine I think is the operative Biblical phrase.

Now, where's the proof dude? Come on, let's see it! I want to see the proof that 10 years is a "Liberal myth!" Let's see your cards 'cause I'm calling that bluff.
