“The idea that we can drill our way out of this is just so absurd not to warrant any serious consideration. … They used to say that a cure for a hangover was the hair of the dog that bit you. If you had a hangover you went and got another drink, and it would help it go away. It’s the sort of the same thing with these proponents ofdrilling. ‘Oh, we’re in a fossil fuel crisis? Well, let’s just dig for more.’ I mean, when you are in a hole, stop digging.”
– former Vice President Al Gore, speaking at the Netroots Nation convention
