    Offshore drilling is the answer? Really?

    copyright © 2008.  Andrew Wahl.  Off The Wahl Perspective.

    The sad reality of politics-as-usual seems to make the development of a sustainable energy policy almost impossible.  We need bold leadership right now, both to retool our economy and reverse the terrible damage we're doing to the global ecosystem.  Instead, we get . . . offshore drilling? That's obviously not the answer to "The Oil Problem," short- or long-term.

    At this point, we need to face the fact that change is inevitable.  The only question is what that inevitability will be: a quick transition to a post-fossil-fuel economy, or the devastating effects of our refusal to do so.

    The Seventh Generation, our priority (0.00 / 0)
    Again, the talk of the day is the price of petroleum.  People protest.  They do not wish to pay exorbitant rates at the pump.  Pocketbook issues take precedence in the public's collective mind.  From the President to Presidential candidates, from Governors to Senators, from the man on the street to the woman in the office, people have set aside formerly held principles.  Few recall the wisdom they once expressed.  The environment must be our priority if the Seventh Generation is to be.
