Paris Hilton’s Energy Plan

I’m sure by now you’ve seen Paris Hilton’s response to John McCain’s attack ad:

Well, The Christian Science Monitor decided to take a look at the Hilton Energy Plan.

Joseph Romm, a former Clinton energy adviser and the blogger for Climate Progress, estimates that offshore drilling would net “under 100,000 barrels a day in supply sometime after 2020 — some one-thousandth of total supply.”

And, despite its assertions, McCain’s campaign actually knows better. In June, senior McCain campaign adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin acknowledged to the LA Times that “new offshore drilling would have no immediate effect on supplies or prices.” He should have added that it will have no real long-term effect, either.

Seems like this just keep coming up doesn’t it?  Let me emphasize it one more time just to make sure the point is made:

Offshore Drilling will not have an effect on oil prices.

Despite what John McCain may say, Offshore Drilling is a scam.  It’s a way for Republicans to claim they are providing a solution, without really addressing the problem.  It sounds good, but does nothing.  Don’t believe their lies.
