CD....the notion is not to support drilling now...but to support ALLOWING drilling when it makes economic sense in places where it is not allowed now.
Those who need to profit from their investments in oil leases (i.e. payments to the government) and equipment are in the best position to know where to drill NOW and where to wait to drill until the price goes up again.
And YES the same argument can be made for wind and solar. Let the companies interested in making a profit decide just when and where to place their panels and mills and when it makes economic sense for them to do so. Let the feds lease land for that purpose to them as well. The point is...don't spend taxpayer $$ subsdizing what would otherwise be an economic decision that no company would make.
The Arabs you speak of ain't too happy right now as every barrel of THEIR limited supply is being sold at 25% of what they got for it a few months ago. But THEY too must sell it at the market price as their economies won't let them leave it in the ground till the price goes up. Ask Hugo about that too.
