I am so for this drill, baby, drill thing.

Think of what it would do for us.

Create tons of jobs.

Free us from dependence on the middle east. I would love for those countries to have to peddle sand.

Lower energy costs.

There’s just no downside.

What happens, like clockwork, is that when OPEC gets wind of serious US oil production, they cut OPEC’s price down, down, down. This cheapens world oil to the point that all the oil production in the US is stalled. Some kind of subsidized drilling would really be needed, so that OPEC cannot bust it out of existence and it would be ready to go when the SHTF in the middle east.

Also, think about the types of jobs it creates. These are high wage jobs! Throw in some nuclear power plants and we are talking energy independence.
