Well, if majorities in liberal California back drilling, maybe the tide has turned and drilling will happen. Calif. had a big oil spill from drilling off the coast at Santa Barbara many years ago, which led Calif. to ban drilling off the coast. Maybe $4 and more per gallon hurts the wallets of even wealthy limosine liberals in Calif.
There are so many regulations in the way, we will be lucky to see anything for 10 years or more. The Rats have screwed the people good.
