McCain credits Bush for drop in oil price
No one has suggested that we need to switch our entire infrastructure over to alternative energy sources immediately or that it would even be possible to do so. Only that we need to BEGIN immediately. It will take years to completely switch over, and we need to start now. My argument is that lifting the ban on offshore drilling and drilling in ANWAR will do almost nothing to ease that transition. Those resources, if brought completely on line, would amount to a small fraction of our total energy usage. You could affect the energy market in the same positive way by switching an equivalent small percentage of our energy use to an alternaive source. It would take years to gain any benefit from new offshore leases or ANWAR leases, so I think it is practical to think we could switch an equivalent fraction of our energy usage to an alternative in the same time frame.
