Problems in the new climate change bill

I would have to agree with only one aspect of the new climate change bill being that yes we do indeed need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly. But I have to disagree with everything proposed in the bill to achieve this. President Obama and his administration are pushing to expand off-shore drilling with the idea that increased supply and cheaper oil are, at the very least, political necessities to a successful energy policy.

I personally do not believe that making oil more plentiful and lowering gas prices is the way to encourage Americans to consider alternative sources of fuel, or hybrid vehicles. The majority of the public is not going to make any significant change until prices become so astronomical that they have no other choice.

Hopefully with the recent catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf fresh in every one's hearts and minds this bill will not pass legislation.
