The Island of Logic

I was listening to Obama’s acceptance speech last night, and as normal I was infuriated by all his generalities, slogans and attacks with no specific facts backing any of them, but one of his statements especially intrigued me. Obama said that if he was elected that he would have us energy independent in 10 years. Wow, that is amazing, Lord Obama, I pray, tell us how you will do it. Now we know he doesn’t mean oil because he has already made it very clear that he doesn’t support real domestic oil production. Well he must mean wind, solar, hydrogen, ethanol, DEFINITELY NOT Nuclear, and undiscovered forms of alternative energy then. Ok, well let’s examine this, Obama has repeatedly said that real domestic oil drilling (I keep calling it “real” because Democrats say they support domestic oil production, however in areas where there is none) is useless because it wouldn’t affect anything for about 8 to 10 years. (BTW this argument infuriates me because this is the exact argument they were using 8 years ago) Ok, so if drilling for oil, which we already have the infrastructure for (gas stations, gas cars, oil tankers, oil companies, drilling techniques and equipment) is going to take 8 to 10 years to show any results, and because it will take 8 to 10 years to show any results, is deemed useless. How long is it going to take to implement the yet undiscovered alternative form of energy of which we have no infrastructure? Well according to Lord Obama, 10 years. All I can say is, Lord Obama, your miraculous skills are going to come in real handy here.
