Drilling is a “long” term strategy to make us energy independent. That is a National Security Issue. Whether or not it lowers prices in the short term is irrelevant. It will lower prices in the long term and make our country free from the whims of the Hugo Chavez’s and the Middle East. That is what needs to be emphasized.
Can we really be energy independent?
I agree with that. People are going to be disappointed and angry when gas doesn’t drop significantly though. I was thinking we might need to ration again. Something like a low cost for the first 100 gallons a month and then a higher rate with truckers exempt. JAT.
You can move in, Set up, DRILL a good well, or a Dry WELL in 1 month.
I’d call that a SHORT Term Solution. This isn’t Rocket Science. Our only Limitation is the Number of Drilling Rigs.
We can PUMP our way out of this....IF the Democratic congress lets us.
