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 gained major support in response to the extremely 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 extremist environmental organizations such as The Sierra Club. Plus, Speaker [[Nancy Pelosi]] has narcissistic comments such as '''"I am trying to save the planet."''' <ref>[http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0708/12122.html Pelosi: 'I'm trying to save the planet'] Politico, July 29, 2008</ref> 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.
