Developing our own oil promotes independence
Let’s drill here and buy oil from ourselves before buying it from Middle Eastern countries.
When we have to purchase the majority of our oil from Middle Eastern countries and they end up with most of our money, they could potentially come over here, buy up our oil that is still in the ground and sell it back to us.
There will be new technology for power and autos developed in the near future, and hopefully our dependence on oil will go down at that time.
In the meantime, the only thing that is going to make the oil cartel reduce the price is the threat that we possibly could become oil-independent through using our own resources. This takes the approval of our Congress and the president, and I hope they will do something about it soon.

Could not agree more. Yet we need to explore all types of energy. William, watch this, there over 4000* oil rigs off the coast of the southeast. If one leaks one quart of oil, it will become a major news item, for the liberals. If they , stand the storm, with no problem, you will never hear a word.
* What I am told, I have not counted them.

This ties in with another thread that will soon be off of the front page and its valid points can be easily ignored...
Energy? C'mon, Mr. Pharr. It's fairly unimportant. You need to understand our national priorities:
"The first thing I'd do as president would be to sign the Freedom of Choice Act"
(Whether its his tenuous grasp of the abilities of the Executive Branch or simply faith in his uninformed demographic is hard to say. Regardless, the referenced April '07 FOCA abortion bill has to make it through Congress before he can sign it - RB)

Not energy. Not Iraq. Not the economy. And nothing pesky like the Patriot Act or an even further refinement of his stance on immunity for eavesdropping telecoms.

Nope. Priority #1- Abortions (cue patriotic music).
We can hope he's lying, but then the supporters will have to acknowledge they're voting for a pandering opportunist. Oh, and liar.
Change? Maybe if this is the your first election. Sucker.
