Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less: A Handbook for Slashing Gas Prices and Solving Our Energy Crisis

New York Times bestselling author, former Speaker of the House, and Fox News political analyst Newt Gingrich has a plan for slashing gas prices and reducing our long-term dependence on foreign oil.

Gingrich is famous for taking big, visionary ideas and boiling them down into practical solutions as demonstrated in this year's earlier release, Real Change, which was on the New York Times bestseller list for eleven weeks. His new book Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less does just that. Dealing not only with spiraling gas prices, but with the energy crisis as a whole, Gingrich shows how we can safely reap the benefits of America's own natural resources and technology in gas, oil, coal, wind, solar, biofuels and nuclear energy.

Gingrich argues that the pinch Americans are feeling at the pump is not a blip in the economy but a looming crisis--affecting not only the price of gas, but the price of food, the strength of our economy, and our national security.

To meet this crisis, Gingrich lays out a national strategy that will tap America's scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs, and require Congress to unlock our oil reserves and remove all the impediments and disincentives that unnecessary government regulation has put in the way of American energy independence. The energy crisis is solvable, as Newt Gingrich's plan makes clear. His handbook, Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less is sure to become the talk of the presidential campaign season.

From the Back Cover
Newt Gingrich Presents a Bold Plan for America's Energy Independence:

Do It All. Do It Now. Do It for America.

America is unrivaled in our ability to solve tough problems and create bold, powerful solutions. That's exactly what we need to do with the energy crisis we now face. We CAN become energy independent, while lowering prices at the pump today and developing innovative and effective energy alternatives for the future. We CAN produce an overwhelming supply of oil and natural gas here at home, and break the stranglehold that foreign (often hostile) countries have on our energy supply, and by extension, our economy. And we CAN be responsible stewards of our environment, protecting the grand beauty and richness of our country without sacrificing our robust engines of growth, expansion, and entrepreneurship. As Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House and bestselling author, spells out in stunning simplicity, when it comes to developing domestic energy resources, we CAN do it all. Isn't it time we relied on American energy for America's security and prosperity? With your help, your citizen action, and Newt Gingrich's plan as laid out in this handbook, we can solve this energy crisis--and slash gas prices, too.

Geologic Nonsense
Newt's ignorance of oil geology is evident from the title. There is a reason oil companies are called E&Ps with the exploration part first. You don't take a $400,000/day drill ship out to sea and start poking holes in the ocean floor. We have little knowledge of the structures off the east and west coasts or in the Beaufort and Checkchi Seas. We have better data in the Gulf, but the good new stuff is under allochthonous salt at great depth, not economic at current prices. The Green River oil shale is a 35 year joke. For one thing it isn't oil.
The U.S. has about 3% of the world's oil reserves despite nonsense from Gingrich and his ilk.

Newt Gets it!....So why is he offering a solution that does not solve the problem
A friend at work said to me that we could have solved the high price of gas, if only we started drilling off shore 10 years...I wondered why he could believe that...and now I have read why.

Newt gets it (we have to have energy independence); however he is disingenuous and dishonest though out the whole book. Within the 1st 10 pages he asks and answers who is to blame for the problem. It is the leftist politicians (He also calls them the energy elitist and people who hate energy production). He does NOT mention the oil companies; He does NOT mention the auto companies; and he does NOT mention any Republican politician. Near the end of the book he even has a spread sheet comparing the pro America group and the anti energy group...

So for me, the book's main theme was not to solve the energy problem, but to put another wedge issue between the American people.

Besides that, it is a great book, but if you want to read a book that has a real solution whose author is a conservative...read Energy Victory by Robert Zubrin

The 2nd Civil War...
There is a battle waging in America over whether the People or the Government control the resources of this great land.

Left wing govt. bureaucrats and politicians, fueled (no pun intended) by the global warming maniacs, are going to bring us down-down to a third world status--if we the People, do not get control of these resources and USE THEM! A resource is of no value if not used when needed.

Drill now, Drill less sets the stage for a revolution. We must fight tooth and nail to win it.
