The US should do this on a massive scale, even if we just break even, for national security purposes and to SCREW OPEC.

Never happen..not because it's not a wonderful technology, but the envrio-weenies will scream that we're going to destroy the habitat of the green-multi-toed-gila-lizard, even though it occupies only 1/2,500,000 of the intended drilling zone..but I agree, we gotta do something and the reserves in the U.S. would allow us to tell OPEC to go do something to themselves that is physically impossible..

The US should do this just to shock the OPECkers into increasing production. The mere threat, if legitimate, of a vastly increased supply of oil will drive oil prices down. If oil speculators see a long term sustained oversupply of oil, prices will come down.
And, oh yeah, SCREW OPEC!!!!!
