Time for a new poll.
First, the results the current poll. The question was: if federal leases are inadequate to fully fund the president's new Energy Security Trust to fund more Solyndra-like projects, would you be willing to support an initiative to transfer some of your Bakken royalties to the Energy Security Trust?
- Yes: 7%
- No: 93%
Watch the video above, and then watch the linked video at the very top of this post. After watching both videos, which do you prefer to see: more videos of trucks hauling oil in the Bakken, or more videos of scantily clad women surfing off the Big Island?
