Had Bill Clinton not stopped drilling, we would now have the oil we need to be more indendent. But no. The liberals/socialists have an agenda. This article is ridiculous. We have more oil under U.S. soil and OCS than all the mideast combined! We need to drill now. It is our land. Not the liberal jerks in Washington's. There are millions of us, 67% of whom want to drill our own oil, compared to a few hundred of the "officials" in Washington. Andrew Leonard is, so obviously, a liberal that this article is nothing more than propaganda. So utterly disgusting. I fought for my country, has he?
Why not drill and develop alternatives at the same time? The mere fact that we are seriously committed to exploiting our own natural reserves will immediately impact prices on oil. As we are doing this, we can research and develope alternatives. Winter is coming, and home heating, whether oil or natural gas, is going to become expensive. There can be a marriage of both. Are our elected officials so dense that they cannot see this? Common sense, people.
