I did not say I oppose new production. There are many alternatives to petroleum and we should develop them rather perpetuating our dependence on petroleum.

I'm at a loss to see how you qualify as a conservative at all. All those positions you've taken are not conservative, but moderate to liberal. Your own ACU rating, were you in Congress, would be low.

What entitles you to be judge and jury of what constitutes conservatism?
