Drilling may be reconcidered when oil gets to 250 a barrel. In the meantime attach a solar panel to your bicycle and get back to work.

The ignorance here is amazing. A barrel of oil does not just go into our fuel tanks.

Around 50% of the refining process produces other essential products like roads, (Asphalt) tires, vinyl, rubber, paint, medical supplies, plastics, (the computer you sit in front of.) fertilizers for agriculture, road/runway deicers, anti-freeze for your radiator, clothing, shoes, and the list is long.......They pretty much could not build a Hybrid auto without it.

So just remember, our lives as we know it would come to a screeching halt without oil.
