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 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, 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." The environmentalists' 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." [1] This attitude proves she has no intention of drilling off the continental shelf or in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
