The liberal paradox: how do we decrease our dependence on foreign oil without actually drilling at home:
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Despite protests by the governor and environmentalists, the federal government decided to open nearly all of New Mexico's vast Otero Mesa for exploratory drilling but vowed that the oil and gas industry won't have a "free-for-all."
It doesn't matter how inevasive the exploration will be, or how desolate the area is. Drilling is always more evil than capitalism. I formerly lived in northwestern NM, and I can tell you, the jackrabbits aren't going to miss their land.
