“Maybe if we could drill our own oil and not depend on others we could have cheaper fuel costs here...”
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.

It’s a start, though.....
Yeah, President Clinton said something like that when he Vetoed ANWR oil exploration. I believe he justified it by saying it would take 10 years to reach production. He did that in 1996.
I believe we will still need oil 10 years from now, what about you?
I know it won’t help now...but in the future....
Especially if we keep preventing exploration and drilling and production. Whenever they get to market they will help supply. The old argument of "well it wouldn't be of any help for at least 'x' number of years" should NEVER be accepted as a reason to reject a solution. If billy jeff hadn't vetoed the 1994 legislation opening up ANWR, Alaskan oil reserves could have been supplying most of our domestic oil demand needs in 2004.
