The thing that always seemed to be the stumbling block in reference to domestic drilling is the impact on the enviroment. Now I beleive we can drill and not truly harm the environment. Alaska!!! they have the oil. Estimates indicated if we went full tilt gas in time would reduce itself by $1.47?? I saw that in the news.
Regardless we will always need import oils...as we need import everything out there. It really falls on the saudis for they truly run the oil market. Proof they are having a summit...its no summit
its a meeting of rich powerfull assholes who are starting to take some heat for high prices. I tend to think gas will come down if they truly see the light..
