Any Oil Is Bad Oil

Here is a letter I sent to President G.W. Bush and my national representatives on July 15, 2008:


I oppose ending the ban on offshore oil drilling.

Instead of finding a way to get more oil to our refineries, we should be flooding renewable energy researchers with grant money for long-term solutions, and regulating oil speculators to improve pricing in the short-term.

Instead of focusing our efforts on breaking our dependence on "foreign oil," we should be breaking our dependence on oil, period.

Thank you for thinking long-term.
