for more oil in the US. Do you realize it could impact the natural environment of animals. It does not matter that we have more oil reservse than anyone ... we obviously like sending $700 billion a year to other countries that could be used to create US jobs and keeping that money in our economy.

Yeah, you will hear the liberal critics that will say even if we open up drilling today it will be 5 more years ... maybe so, but the longer we wait the more grip they have on us. Also, I believe if we show that we mean business the price will fall as they try to discourage exploration. They want to keep a grip on us through oil and they know if the price goes down the american people will forget quickly and then start crying about the environment.

It is funny that oil producing countries like Iran are building nuclear plants for electricity (and probably other reasons) and converting cars to CNG. All while we say no nuclear plants, no drilling and are too slow to convert to other fuels to reduce oil consumption.
