Architecture 2030 created a useful graph in their newest e-news bulletin that shows just how BS the “drill, baby, drill” drumbeat is. Check it out, pass it on, fight back:
About Jamie
Jamie is the co-coordinator of 350.org, an international global warming campaign. A recent college graduate, he lives in San Francisco, CA. In 2007, he co-organized Step It Up, a campaign that pulled together over 2,000 climate rallies across the United States to push for strong climate action at the federal level. He's also an early member of the youth climate movement, leading one of Energy Action's first campaigns in 2005: Road to Detroit, a nationwide veggie-oil bus tour to promote sustainable transportation. He's traveled to Montreal and Bali to lobby the UN with youth, but he's a strong believer that change happens in the streets not in meetings. Jamie received the Morris K. Udall award in 2007 and has been recognized by the mighty state of Vermont for his work on climate change. You can also find him blogging at Campus Progress' "Pushback," Changents.com, and 350.org.

Stunning imagine—thanks for passing it on!
This is an incredibly insightful and powerful graphic. I’ll be sure to share it with multiple networks.
Thank you for this post!
While I agree that “Drill, baby, drill” is a truly stupid idea, I’d like to point out that the graph is based on Lower 48 Outer Continental Shelf estimates from this page:

It would be more accurate to include ANWR and the other Alaskan areas that the McCain campaign, I mean Republicans, I mean oil lobby wants to open to drilling. I’d be interested to see those numbers as well.
Nothing gets the point across like a good graph, though!
