Idiot Alaskan Governor Says We Can Drill Our Way Out of Climate Change

[GoLeft TV]

Alaskan governor Bill Walker says that in order to pay for the cost of climate change, we should let the oil companies have their way with Alaska. Not only is this the dumbest idea to come out of Alaska in recent years, but it shows that there is clearly something wrong with Alaskan politicians.

Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

4. If we all stuck our heads up our ass

we wouldn't be bothered by climate change!

6. Good one!

The ones not bothered by climate change do have their heads up their asses.

5. More corrupted by oil money than an idiot. Alaska has been setting record temperatures year after

year, and I do hope Alaskans remember that at the ballot box.

7. A question for all of these "drill baby, drill" folks . . .

Setting aside, for the moment, the issue of climate change, fuel is only one of a zillion things we use petroleum for. Long after we've ceased using it for fuel, we will likely to continue to have a need for it for many other products. As I understand it, there is really no adequate substitute for petroleum in the production of plastics and synthetic rubber products. Given that, is it really a wise idea to pull every obtainable drop out of the earth now?
