I know you are asking hound and I agree we should be drilling .... but now that the price of oil is down you are seeing what happened so many times in the past .... congress feels the pressure is off and we do not need to address now. Why do something today that you can put off until tomorrow. When oil was $150 a barrel and $4 at the pump everyone was talking about it, alternative fuels, etc. Now that it is back below $2 and $55 a barrel we are not hearing any noise.

This is exactly the time we need to be exploring for more when demand is down. When demand is high we are at too great of a risk that one of the countries we import from will cut us off as leverage. It takes 5 years to bring meaningful new wells in to production, so what are we waiting for.
