I forgot the anti-nuclear lobby and the environmentalists who share a large part of the blame for where we are on energy today. We have both hands tied behind our backs: On the one hand, we refuse to drill domestically, and on the other we refuse to use the nuclear technology we pioneered so many years ago, to wean us from our fatal dependence upon our enemies in the Middle East and South America for the oil that our oil companies must purchase.
Absolutely correct. We have more than enough domestic oil ONSHORE, not even bothering with offshore, because of the new drilling technologies. But we need a government willing to let the oil industry drill for it. Billions of dollars of domestic investment, tens of thousands of good paying jobs, $2 gasoline, and no need for the Saudis. Only the US government stands in the way...and $4/gallon gas will sweep that opposition away.
