The Democrats and the MSM make it sound like all of the current leased land definitely has significant amounts of oil, and that all they have to do is start drilling tomorrow. There are a lot of costs and activities such as geologic studies of the land involved with drilling an oil well. And then once they drill, it may come up dry.
The Dems. over simplify this whole energy debate. They are so in love with solar panels and windmills (except those that block Ted Kennedy’s ocean view) that they really want to obstruct further development of our own energy resources.
