Unfortunately, the world needs their damn oil. Even if the US “drills here and drills now,” oil is fungible; events in the mid-east will matter hugely to Europe, Japan, and China. But yeah...if we can find massive new reserves here and drive the price of oil down, we’ll be better off.
There is plenty of oil in the Gulf and in Alsaka. I would rather go without while we get oil drilling up to snuff and plaster the country with reactors. Screw em.
I understand fungible. I want to stop using their oil and using our oil our nucear, our natural gas, our coal.
