The real sad thing is that if we could drill here in this country, according to the experts, we would have over a 60 year supply without having to import oil. Long enough for them to work on and find alternatives.
Just in recent years they have found big fields in Alaska, Wyoming, and the Dakotas. This does't even count the gulf and both coasts. There is coal and coal shale that can be converted to gasoline that can extend this even further. Why are we in this mess??
What is happening in this country when it comes to energy independence is almost treasonous.
