We can’t drill out of it. This is a global problem. Third world countries are very rapidly using more oil, much faster than we could produce here. The best case scenario is we slow the rate at which prices increase. We’re still going to have to find an alternative eventually.
Honestly, that’s the comforting thing, because let’s say it did bring down prices. It would just like after the oil crisis in the 70’s; everybody would forget and go back to depending on cheap fuel. Then, we’ll start to run of oil for good. Then we’ll REALLY be screwed, because there was no economic pressure to come up with an alternative.
Oil is a fossil fuel. We can’t use it forever, especially not at the rate we’re going. The market pressures of high prices will prove to be good for us in the long run.
Do you support the Democrats policies against drilling?
