Free Pro Oil Drilling Bumper Sticker

Saturday August 9, 2008
Most of the freebies I post are not very controversial, but something tells me this one will be an exception. First let me state that I'm pretty much middle of the road on the subject of increased domestic oil drilling.

I think the solution to decreasing the dependence on foreign oil is a mixture of some expanded drilling where it makes sense and developing alternative fuels and other alternative energy technologies.

To quote a very true cliche "necessity is the mother of invention" and the higher the fuel prices, the stronger the push for alternative energy solutions. High fuel prices are painful, but the longer they stay high the faster alternatives will be developed.

Now, on to the free offer. The site Gas Price Protest is offering a free bumper sticker and online petition to promote expanded domestic drilling.

Here are some articles on the subject:

Why Lifting The Offshore Oil Ban Won't Help Gas Prices

Environmental Issues: Alternative Fuels & Fossil Fuels

Top Alternative Fuels

Oil Reserves

Feel free to comment on this post, but keep it civil.

Oh I can see this is a gloom and doom meeting. I’m so glad you really went out of your way to fin “balanced” articles..Dare I even say pop in one or two optimistic ones- not so much chicken little..

Oh and yes I see here right below my writing that T. Boone Pickens sponsors this link…how surprising the biggest proponent of “wind energy” gee’ isn’t he the LARGEST INVESTOR in wind power? Kinda like all those carbon credits being “sold” with the biggest sponsor being Al Green (ignore my big jet and house but we must save the bears- yeah they pay taxes-you fool) Gore—yeah they are the jokers of the “green movement”—all the way to the bank, you silly green saps..

To be a TRUE American is to look for solutions–ALL the solutions–the long and the short terms ones- that is TRUE AMERICAN INGENUITY–AND WHY WE ARE THE GREATEST NATION STILL AND WILL STILL BE…GO TRAVEL THE WORLD AND SEE..

Critics say that it won’t help us to drill for oil now, because it will take several years before any oil is produced. How long will we be waiting if we DON’T drill? Do something, now…let the OPEC cartel know that we will not be dependent on them for our energy. Oh, and by all means, expand alternative energy sources, also.
