More drilling is not the answer, the Sierra Club's Chris Wilhite says in an op-ed in today's projo, and he is right on target. Drilling off the coastline and in the Arctic carries environmental risks, and what good will it do us? It won't lower our gas prices or even have a major impact on supply -- though it would certainly put more profits in the pockets of big oil. How about this instead -- maximize our efficiency, stop wasting so much, mandate 50 mpg cars (well within reach of our current technology -- or make that 1980s technology), and improve mass transit? That's the way forward -- to just keep drilling is to just keep digging ourselves deeper into an unsustainable hole. Click here to read Chris's op-ed.
