Tweety: Do we need to start drilling in places we haven't wanted to drill before?
Sen. Boxer: "We need to see the oil companies drill on the land and leases they have on shore and offshore. There are 68 MILLION Acres that they have access to they are not drilling. There are another 28 MILLION Acres of the Naval Reserve they have access to. They are doing NOTHING Chris. And I maintain, that when you have two Oilmen in the White House for EIGHT LONG YEARS and you see Gas Prices go up 300%. To turn around and blame the Democrats in Congress JUST DOESN'T WASH. The Oil Companies have gotten EVERYTHING they want. It's time for them to Use It or Lose It. Of course there are places we can drill. But I want you to know something. There are a lot of jobs that come out of a pristine coast in certain areas of our Country. In my own state for example, in Washington State and off the shores of New Jersey and many other places North Carolina, I could go on. The fact is that there is a 70 BILLION DOLLAR, 70 BILLION COASTAL economy, TWO MILLION JOBS. So, of course we want to drill. Of course we need to conserve. Of course we need renewable energy. And my republican friends, just to keep up a little argument here, have said, "Oh No, we are not going to give the Solar companies, the Wind companies, Geothermal the Tax Credits, the Tax Cuts that they deserve. "
BAM. BOOM. It was awesome.
