    The National Resources Defense Council wants to run an ad to stop Congress from opening offshore oil drilling, as Bush has done by lifting his father's Executive Order.

    Brilliant. I really amazes me that anyone thinks that offshore drilling is going to really solve anything, esp in the short term.

    People still don't understand the economics of buying a Prius so do you really expect them to understand something as complex as the oil economy? Come on now Tripp, you are giving people too much credit expecting otherwise... :p After reading the responses from the citizens of Sacramento regarding the Prius article Dogfriend and myself were in, I am amazed that the majority of people are even allowed to breed. Wait, I was that ignorant once upon a time as well. Hahaha
