Drill Baby Drill = Spill Baby Spill!!!


Don’t get me wrong, I love Sarah Palin, She’s adorable, but her drill baby drill slogan that she famously coined during the 2008 presidential campaign shows why voting for her and that other guy was definitely risky business.  She has now reportedly backtracked and said that she was referring to onshore drilling.  She’ also managed to come out and criticize the current administration on the BP spill. Wow!
While this oil spill is tragic it could have been avoided! 
About 2 decades ago the magazine Popular Science would routinely feature functioning solar and electric powered cars. Somehow the technologies behind these inventions never made it to production.  Perhaps these technologies and patents were quietly purchase by Oil companies who then simply shelved them away.
Hopefully as oil companies continue to drill and spill, public opinion on the use of fossil fuels will abruptly shift to the use of renewable energies.
