Today on CNN Political Ticker: New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson told CNN that drilling is not the answer, explaining, “You can’t drill your way out of the problem.” He criticized Bush and McCain for emphasizing offshore drilling as the best solution to the energy crisis, adding, “What is needed is a comprehensive strategy of fuel efficiency, 50 miles-per-gallon vehicles… mass transit. What is needed is investments in renewable energy and solar and wind.”

Before comments were closed for the news entry, four people managed to insert their brilliant contributions:

Now Bill Richardson is an energy expert -he says we can’t drill our way out of the oil problem – gee that makes sense -so let’s not drill our way out of the oil problem.

McCain’s plan must have some real merit if the ultra liberal Hindsight Bowery Boys think the idea stinks!

All of a sudden Bill Richardson has the answer to our energy problem isn’t that politically convenient? where was he when we needed the answers 10-20 years ago????? Where were they all 10-20 years ago???? Funny how they all become experts in an election year.

We must allow new drilling as well as increase fuel efficiency for new cars and increase use of public transportation. Only doing one thing will not help much.

Hey geniuses: Where was Bill Richardson ten years ago? He was UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF ENERGY, you nitwits!

Richardson is not “suddenly” an energy expert; his focus has been energy all along, and he has the credentials, achievements, and plans to prove it. At least do your damned research before you start tossing around insults and accuse people of being amateurs who are posturing in an election year.

[edit: comments were finally reinstated and maybe one or two people got around to noting Richardson’s qualifications… for the most part, people seemed to ignore it.]
