There are methods of drilling now, which are on a slant, which also can reach into existing or undiscovered oil assets and other places. </p> <p>There is dramatically improved technology in this area and I'm not saying that there will never be another oil spill. California: they still remember the Santa Barbara experience and, of course, all of us remember Exxon-Valdez, but I think the technology and the safety is there today that would give us great confidence that we would be able to exploit these offshore resources and still maintain environmental safety [...], but I also think, my friends that, if you send $700 billion overseas every year and some of that money ends up in the hands of a terrorist organization, you are also running a risk.</p> <p>You're also running a risk of one of these terrorist organizations doing—committing a terrorist act in the United States of America and some of our vulnerable areas obviously are energy supplies so I think we have to kind of balance all of these priorities as well.

[...]</p> <p>MCCCAIN: [...] I'm supportive of and the government is doing some pure research and development on a lot of this technology, wind, tide, solar, and others, but I also—and this is where Mr. [T. Boone] Pickens and I disagree a little bit—I don't think we can rely on those to be as much of the solution as some people think. </p> <p>We all love solar. Is there anybody that doesn't love solar power? But when we look at the actual contributions, compared with the increased demand for energy that's gonna be part of American in the next 20 years, it does not meet those demands, much less the existing requirements that we have.

It's the most efficient way possible to burn fuel because so little energy is lost as waste heat. That's how CHP plants in Denmark can reach up to 95 per cent efficiency.</p> <p>Because the heat needs to be captured and piped around the local district, CHP plants are usually sited in the towns and cities where the electricity and heat will be used. This makes it more efficient for electricity generation as well as heat; very little energy is lost in transmission.

The power in our seas is vast - and wave power is at an innovative stage.
