Best Picture? Scott telling how many solutions Democrats are offering:

I am in favor of drilling in ANWR and offshore.
However I am also in favor of expanding our efforts towards coming up with alternative energy.
I think the answer lies in the middle. Increase domestic drilling to decrease our dependance on foreign oil. Redouble our efforts to come up with alternative energy solutions to decrease our dependance on foreign oil.
What’s wrong with doing both at the same time? We do not have to choose either one or the other, we can choose both. That’s what I choose. If we are going to break loose of our dependance on foreign oil I think both steps will be required.
Let’s not have any more hairbrained ideas like ethanol, however. That eloquently illustrates the “law of unintended consequences”.
