Drill, Baby, Drill

I was asked by someone the other day about why I was not smart enough to get on the Drill, Baby, Drill bandwagon. Couldn't I see the logic that drilling for more oil was going to drive prices down and help our economy. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Drill, Baby, Drill is a shining tower built on a lie planted atop a mountain of false assumptions. The lie is that it will impact oil prices at all. The truth is and will always be until we change it is that we use 25% and own 3% of the worlds oil. Since the former number is larger than the latter, we are in trouble if we continue down this same road. Why do intelligent people even question this? On the assumption side, folks are assuming that offshore drilling is about oil, when it is really about natural gas. How is that going to help us with oil prices? Lies on top of assumptions. And the folks charged with knowing these things and making decisions about these issues--Congress and the Administration--know these numbers as well. So what gives? These are questions that should be asked of candidates and others that are serving in the public interest. (3 votes) »
