The President and McCain have seemingly backed off their stated desire to resume drilling. States, they suggest, should make the final decision of drilling in their state. That may, accidentally, be a brilliant development. Some states will be sure to say no, but others will agree. When those states that drill start seeing financial benefits other states will be enticed to put aside their enviro protest because tjheir people will see neighbors paying lower taxes and such due to oil income from taxes on business and jobs created by the oil booms.
“Well 15 years later, we’d have all the oil we need.”
Not really...
We’ll have all the oil we need when Congress finally abandons the sufur-content law, and allows the building of refineries, free from environmental lawsuit blockages.
**We need to hang this around the neck of the Dems BIG-TIME. And remind the American people that in 1993 the Congress sent Bill Clinton a Bill authorizing drilling in ANWR. He vetoed it saying it would take 10 years to produce. Well 15 years later, we’d have all the oil we need.**
Ditto!
