Since A. the U.S. doesn't have enough domestic oil and B. I like being able to drive my car, I think that that idea is ridiculous.

And how do we know we don't have enough domestic oil? Oh, yeah, the mantra we've been hearing from the MSM and ecologists for 30 years.

We have, as I understand it, "heavy crude" oil, as opposed to "light sweet" crude from "you know where". It's still there, where it was shut down during the Clintoon years, because it was "cheaper" to import, and not cause a "shortage".

we have plenty of oil and natural gas that the government won't let us get at. The government causes problems and then finds big government solutions to them that always causes more problems for them to find big government solutions to that cause.....

This is the way of government

The US has enough NG to drive your car at under a buck a gallon getting the same mileage as gasoline...It's a great idea!

"What I would propose would mess us up about as badly as we were messed up during WWII for somewhere between six months and two years, probably more like a year, but it would put every terrorist regime on Earth totally out of business since oil is 100% fungible and the price of oil would collapse worldwide."

China, India and other countries would pick up the slack. So while we were terading water, they would keep on rolling.
