The author tries, but the logic for off shore drilling is irrefutable. Yes, the world is composed of finite resources - one of which is not human ingenuity. When we run out of oil, and are not artificially restricting ourselves, we will find other means.
Face it, the Democrats have long held us back. Jimmy Carter and the Liberal Democratically controlled Senate & House killed nuclear power & oil expansion back in the late 70's and early 80's. If they hadn't the country would be far further along in self sufficiency with energy; Just think - Cheap electricity (nuclear power) would be available for battery powered cars... If 75% of our power was nuclear. Not with the Democrats, though. Turn off the air conditioning, and get prepared to walk.
