more grammar; the pro-drilling movement wasn't *created* in 2005, but it did get a boost then

'''Pro-drilling''' is a term to describe Americans who feel that the USA should be leading the world in energy production. Due to our vast wealth and resources, Pro-drilling advocates want an "all of the above" solution to the energy crisis.

The "all of the above" solution entails drilling for oil ''first''. This strategy is to be part of a larger national energy policy that includes oil, shale, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric as well as new nuclear power-plant construction. A major [[campaign]] in the Pro-drilling movement is the '''"Drill Here!, Drill Now!"''' effort. People in the millions have signed up with [[American Solutions]] to support drilling initiatives.

Pro-drilling is a response to extremely the high gasoline prices that have been inflicted upon the American consumer since the [[summer]] of 2005. The effort has become necessary due to Democratic [[Congressional]] leaders refusal to listen to their constituents. Instead, [[Democrats|Democratic politicians]] are allied with extreme environmentalist organizations, for which they speak. Plus, Speaker [[Nancy Pelosi]] has narcissistic dreams such as the comment "She is trying to save our planet." <!-- Is this an actual quote? Who said it? Surely Pelosi didn't say it of herself? -->The [[environmentalist]]s' motives are clearly questionable. Plus, there is proof that other [[humans]] are suffering [[malnutrition]] worldwide. They are unable to afford the cost of food due to gasoline's higher price.

Recently, Pro-drilling supporters were mocked by Speaker Pelosi as the "two-cents-in-10-years-crowd." <ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,412549,00.html Debunking Democrats on Drilling] Fox News, August 28, 2008</ref> This attitude proves she has no intention of drilling off the continental shelf or in the [[Arctic National Wildlife Refuge]].
