For those worried about the spotted owl and other enviro. stuff let me ask this question.HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A DINOSAUR??? I havent and I DONT LOSE SLEEP ABOUT IT.Yes we need to driil for oil in the USA,and look out for our own people.We have wells that have been capped for years that are brimming full.
far as im concerned they can drill anywhere there is oil but i dont think it will make much difference......new tech on oil shale would help also....as would nuclear for non transportation.
what really mystifies me is one day after his "appeasement" speech bush goes to saudi arabia (the folks, OBL etc, who brought us 911) and tries to get them to give us more oil, probably by offering more arms and tech......
there is a difference between supply and demand and what the market will bear.....we haven't come close to seeing the later
