Just an opinion.
We actually don't. Thanks to our shale industry, the U.S. is 100% energy independent and we are set for petroleum and natural gas for 100 years or more.
We shouldn't touch ours until the Middle East is "cleaned out."
Bad idea. A major reason for our growing economy is the incredible growth in shale drilling. Shutting it all down and allowing it to become dormant in order to drain oil reserves from the Middle East (at much higher cost) makes zero sense.
