There is no way new resources, assuming they’re found in great quantities, could get to market quickly enough to supply our ever increasing demand.

The USA is the third largest oil producer. Increasing production would not reduce cost but would increase cost.

And if we did, then the size of the export of dollars - to the Middle East - would go down, limiting the dollars in circulation outside the U.S. and the value of the dollar would go up.
