“There’s no oil shortage now. What’s the point of drilling in the Arctic at this time?”
You must be a DemoRAT! Now is THE TIME to be drilling in the Arctic so that when the current “newly found oil” runs out, we have additional resources. So you would like us to wait until we run out, then start drilling? That’s what the RATs always propose, then when we are it trouble they say “well it will take ten years to find new oil, so let’s just quit driving and put on a sweater.” Are you sure you are posting on the right place?
I’m confused. The title states they want to stop drilling in the Arctic, which seems like a good idea until it’s needed. But what you found states they want to stop exploration. Stopping exploration would be dumb.
