In 2008 Joe Biden dismissed drill, baby, drill stating it would take ten years to get more American oil to market …
So now we’re still ten years away instead of six …
But, HEY!! Look over there!! High speed rail boondoggle!

Wow. That’s a dollar more than we’re paying right now.
What’s with the D’s and their fascination with trains? Didn’t they ever have a train set as kids? I’ve lived in enough cities that have trains or trolleys and bus service and they are always running more than half empty.

In the sense that drilling in ANWR goes back to the late 90s, I think it’s more like we’re three or four years overdue.
At least.
Thanks enviromenal whackos and fellow travelling limousine libs!

public trans – trolley, streetcar, light rail, subway – only really works in cities that are physically constrained and can only build up, not out. New York, San Francisco, etc.
Los Angeles had a very efficient streetcar system in the early part of the 20th century – the Red Car; but in one of those rare things of a real conspiracy, it was torn out in order to promote car ownership via freeways and the sprawl has made any attempt to getting people into public trans impossible.

we are way overdue in the terms that there is a bunch of oil just off the CA coastline — it friggin seeps out naturally from the sea bed already! — that the enviro-weenies have blocked for decades.
I remember an old Dilbert strip where Dogbert Power was using CA enviromentalists to generate green energy
—by throwing them in the furnace
Yes, Darleen, that was what I was saying about the half emptiness. I saw it all the time in San Diego and Pittsburgh, as well as Philadelphia.
As far as Los Angeles goes, it’s such a sprawl I can’t imagine how many times you’d have to change busses and trains to get around. It would take hours out of your day. The Red car didn’t cover much in the way of area, iirc.
Yet, Californian’s will dutifully cast another ballot for Barak Obama and his cronies.
Any chance we could export all the lefty politicians to California? I’d happily pay the shipping.

It pretty much encompassed what was the LA area at the time. My mom grew up in Leimert Park (dad in all parts of Los Angeles but mostly East LA). Dad could take the RC right out to Santa Monica Pier. Mom could take it to visit her grandmother who had a small farm in the Inglewood area.
Maybe LA would have grown up differently if the RC had remained.
Test test… Poke poke…
Darleen, what frustrates me most about CA is that the lack of good paying jobs, yet thousands of jobs are just waiting to be created off the coast. Jobs that most certainly pay quite a bit more than minimum age. It’s enough to make you scream.
Crap, more coffee. That comment doesn’t read well at all.
Forget it, Darleen. It’s California…
