Not even close to necessary. Expensive, and others are getting out of the business. We should decide in 10 years whether we need oil any more. We don’t even drill in the gulf anymore, just sapping the current holes.
Just curious what makes you say that? specifically ?
[We should decide in 10 years whether we need oil any more.]
What?
I have a close friend who just spent the last several weeks helping evacuate and then restart several gulf rigs. He would probably disagree with your statement.
We should remove the restrictions and let the market do what it does best. If infrastructure gets built, then it makes it much harder later for the enviro-nazis to shut it down than to prevent new drilling in a future hostile administration.
Maybe some people in Alaksa don’t want to go to the Gulf to drill and would prefer ANWR. Not everyone who wants to drill wants to drill in the Gulf. We should allow drilling everywhere.
I for one, would like gas at $ 1.00 a gallon. MASSIVE TAX CUT for middle class
