How about the price of oil

Money quote from ADN.com:

"A sensible policy would entail Republicans getting on board with a greater commitment to alternative energy research, Democrats getting on board with increasing domestic oil and gas exploration and all Americans embracing sensible conservation practices.

Until then, prayer seems to be the only viable alternative."

Mark's commentary:

As an Alaska resident I support (along with 2/3 of Alaskans) drilling in ANWAR and other areas. However, that comes with a caveat: the galaring need to research and develop alternative energy and to slowly wean ourselves from carbon-based fossil fuels. It needs to be a concerted effort that involves the recognition of our addiction to oil and the simple fact that most of our oil is imported from nations that do not like us very much.

Happy Mother's Day- I hope you do not have to drive too far.
