Overcoming the objections of the envoronmentalist liberals. They don't want us in Iraq for any reason, including oil. Environmentalist liberals have opposed every refinery our oil companies have ever tried to build in the last 35 years, NIMBY, Not I My Back Yard! Yet these same refineries would also process Biodiesel and other alternative fuels.
I cannot honestly figure out what it is that these people want us to do! We need a transitional period where we can evolve toward renewable energies, but the capacity and technology we would use for this exploration is often the one and the same for things like refining our current fuel supply!
The U.S. is the worlds THIRD biggest oil producers, yet we cannot get to it because of Environmentalist Liberals, who incidentally do not want restrictions on controlling our exponentially growing populations!
