Why does McCain want to Drill for More Oil?

Obviously global warming and fuel emission goes hand in hand. If we keep using oil, won't the Earth climate be to drastic for us to live in? Isn't there already alternative fuel sources and can't we just invest in them so they'd be cheap for the public as a whole? Shouldn't we care more about how long we'll be able to survive with Global Warming?Why does McCain want to Drill for More Oil?
Drilling is a bridge to keep oil prices down now.





It buys us time.

Global warming is a serious issue. Getting to a point where we can rely on alternative fuels without bankrupting the government (oops, too late) is also important.





We consume 25% of the worlds oil and we only have 3% of the reserves. That is a problem. Over the next 20 years, we can turn that problem into an opportunity. This is a capitalist society (sorry if you are a socialist). We can MAKE MONEY developing alternative fuels.





We need to develop lots and lots of NUCLEAR. But we also need to develop and enhance thermal heat for homes (did you know this is already economically viable, yet only.005% of homes have it), wind, tidal, et.c (except forget solar...it doesn't work).





In the short-run we also need to drill. Every barrell we can find is $70-130 that does not go to a terrorist.
You are correct. Drilling for more oil will not resolve our energy crisis nor will it enhance our ability to control climate change. Despite the fact that drilling will not produce results for another decade or so, the U.S. uses 25% of the world's oil while we only maintain 3% of its resources.
so the bush cronies can continue to make money.
