On the Internet, no one can hear you shout

Today on the Enfranchised, we begin a new feature! Arguing! No longer will our rants be monologues. Instead, they will be picked apart, thrown back at us, and then ground into our faces like we deserve. Every Tuesday, I will post a topic for discussion. Every Wednesday, one of my co-bloggers will respond. Every Thursday, the other co-blogger will explain to him and you exactly how he (the first he) was wrong. You may have noted that on the authors bar, there are now three of us. I'm proud to welcome Ryan Graham "Leviathan" White yadda yadda formal courtesy extended.

So, without adieu, the first topic: energy policy. Recent reports indicate that the Arctic seabed teamed with life at some point. Conclusion: somewhere down there, there's oil. Is this a viable strategy, to keep looking for oceans to tap and countries to invade? Is nuclear the answer? Solar? Wind? Lots of hampsters on wheels? Enlighten us, oh pundits.
