Well now, with oil at $40.00 the will not be a greatly expanded effort to drill into new areas in the U.S. Instead we will continue to drill in Texas and Louisiana where it is cheap and continue to buy more oil from other countries.
The ten year line by the Dems was B.S. and could only include exotic offshore platforms in areas that there has not been drilling. And that in itself would only be a small portion of domestic E&P.
I know, but it makes a great political response.
