They want to ';fix'; speculation (can't it's a world market, not a US market)
They want to drill where the leases are. (3% of all offshore area, and there's no oil there)
They think I can slap a solar panel on my car within 5 years and get to work that way.
I think it's denial
They ';say'; they hate big oil (Exxon 42 billion) but have no problem supporting policy that dictates that we send 72 billion a year to the Saudi's. I guess they hate big oil, but Love Gigantic oilDems Say it Takes 10 Yrs to Get Oil. Do They Hope No Drilling Will Make us Run Out in 10 Years?
The 'Dems' do not state that, the oil industry experts state that. Not sure what dark hole you're living in but there is oil exploration and drilling going on all over the US right now. Active rigs are up 38%, in the last 5 years there have been almost 10,000 drilling permits issued, permits for drilling on federal land is up 300%. And to correct another answer you received it was Bush Sr. who signed the executive order that banned offshore drilling. An executiove order that Bush Jr has also signed.Dems Say it Takes 10 Yrs to Get Oil. Do They Hope No Drilling Will Make us Run Out in 10 Years?
That is the kind of mentality that has gotten us into trouble. Ten years ago oil was less than $20 a barrel and no one was doing much to bring about alternate sources of energy. Clinton vetoed a bill that would have allowed for more drilling in the US because oil was so cheap then. Carter warned of this in 1980 but no one listened to him. He was very prophetic when he said that America would suffer in 25 years if they did not develop sources of energy that would free the US from OPEC dependency.
I don't understand why we can't do BOTH -tap our own resources by drilling %26amp; look for alternative energy sources, as well..I don't think it's an either/or choice.
If they had not banned all the drilling back in '93, we probably would be in this mess today. Another page in the Clinton Legacy.
grow up.
