		<description><![CDATA[The majority of Americans may be against offshore drilling only because of the recent spill.  Were the majority of Americans against transporting oil on cargo ships in light of the Exxon Valdez disaster?



Unfortunately, the new &quot;clean&quot; energy prices are absolutely out of control.  The average American is not able to afford solar or windpower.  Electric cars may sound eco-friendly, but where do we get electricity?  Coal plants.



Rather than focus on extremely new and expensive technologies, Americans should focus on resources we already have here in America.  It is a shame that we are not investing in neither nuclear power nor investing in the infrastructure necessary to use our over 100 year supply of natural gas.  The &quot;ruling class,&quot; the people who control us, want us to develop wind and solar instead (despite NOT allowing a solar facility in the middle of the Mohave dessert to be built, enough to supply 140,000 homes with electricity, because it might endanger the dessert tortoise.)  Now THAT is something to be truly angry about.  Our future prosperity as a country is in grave danger.



Are you going to do your part in stopping these wackos?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well &quot;science&quot; didn&#039;t used to require a vote of approval by anonymous blog commenters outside that science field. Only climate science. Would you also demand that Civil engineers designing bridges submit their &quot;science&quot; to you first for your approval? Of course not.



Safeguards need to be put in to prevent catastrophic failure in both cases, and the climate scientists who tallied the evidence so far, and accurately predicted the results, (ice caps melting, increased warming, more floods, heavier precipitation, ecosystem disruptions bringing new pests (e.g. the Pine Bark beetle eating up a third of some states and BC, Canada, because it no longer gets cold enough for long enough in winter to kill them) and who warn of them are just doing their job, just like civil engineers are.



Scientists agree more and more that they can find no refutation for the constantly accumulating evidence of climate change happening, and continuing to increase catastrophically over centuries - and they are the only ones whose &quot;agreement&quot; is relevant. That is not for want of trying. Toppling the theory would mean huge fame for any who could.]]></description>
