And why is it that these people keep saying "if opec produces more oil then it will lower the price by 60 cents per gallon", but if we drill here, it only lower the costs by a few cents? That's rediculous. ANd people just go on in their merry lives, without asking questions... stupid.
I'm not saying we shouldn't drill, I'm just pointing out a bit of reality about it...hell, I made a damn good living drilling oil wells and then going on to have them drilled for me when I became a drilling foreman for a major oil company...I've got no problems with drilling and I sure as hell don't buy into any tree hugger bullshit.

I don't know about the people of which you speak...simple fact of the matter is...oil is a world traded commodity...if we drilled ANWR there is a good possibility that we wouldn't even be the ones to use that oil.
