And who is going to pay for your domestic drilling? You?? The American Tax payer? The oil companies when their profits have imploded? Right.
Same folks who are going to pay for solar, wind and nuclear I reckon and if it's much more than fossil fuels, it's still going to be a hard sell?

I think modifying our lives around smaller homes, cars and moving closer to work is probably the most economical way to get through the next ten years or so. We should have learned that in the 70's during the oil embargo. Back then, I would have never imagined people driving SUV's back and forth to soccer games.
