"Now, it happens that algae will grow on anywhere on earth. I looked
it up while I was away for those three days. You thought I was sunning
myself. I did research. It grows in oceans, in lakes and ponds, in
your swimming pool when the pool man is on vacation. In snow, in ice,
on soil, on turtles, on sloths, the bark of trees and rocks. Why are
we drilling for oil? We are the Saudi Arabia of rocks. We have a
mountain range called the Rockies and we are allowing ourselves to be
dominated by these oil producers. I think he's on to something here
that is truly revolutionary. Why would you build a pipeline, the
Keystone pipeline with real oil from Canada to put in real refineries
and put in real existing cars when you can do algae? I think he is on
to something. And I think this shows the vision, the hope and change
he promised in 2008." -- Charles Krauthammer

We export over more than a million barrels/day (1,023,000 barrels each
day of the week last period 2/17) of petroleum products than we import.
How will "drill baby drill" help things?
