You can guarantee that the libs will do their best to block energy independence while insisting that wind and solar farms powered by unicorn farts will power the USA.
We already have oil production from Offshore North Slope Alaska. More leases have been sold, even under the Obama Administration.
funny how any oil WE have always seems to be on the verge of running out, while Muslims seem to be able to dig limitless wells.
There is far more oil in shale than there ever was that is easy to get. The overused iceberg metaphor applies.
