@minator3 What is a "drilling band", and is "drilling in the golf", sort of like using a drill, instead of a putter?

Seriously the USA is addicted to foreign oil for 2 reasons. 1) You use too much oil, and are not efficient in using it, EG by driving everywhere in oversize cars. 2) The USA produces less oil now then in 1970 and always will no matter how hard you try.

I believe you have stated in several speeches (about 1,000) that drilling in America won't reduce the cost of gas at the pump...yet today, you went on tv (another speech) and asked every oil producing country to produce more in order to reduce the cost at the US pump....what is driving the cost of gas and food and clothing costs to skyrocket is Bernanke printing money....it makes the dollar worth(less)..if you want to reduce the cost of gas at the pump, STOP PRINTING MONEY!!

thats why he went in lybia to eliminate oil (from the lybians)

[newaver64]

[minator3]

how are we supposed to stop foreign oil dependence when you put a drilling band on drilling in the golf?

@SinbliminalSinSation The oil supply in Alaska at the rate of petroleum consumption that the US holds will be adequate at best to supply the country for an additional 4 months at most, 7 if we ration. And skyrocketing Caribou populations are not exactly good news for the local plantlife, it will disrupt the local habitual food chain, further becoming an huge regional environmental risk.

@Jackcar141 we have plenty of oil in Alaska...and because of the pipeline the karabu population has tripled since they are keeping worm next to the warm pipes....check out the discovery channel :)

NONE of your policies hold water NONE of them have a Long term plan for success they are temp covers for your screw ups. get the hell out of Americans lives, give power back to the state where if you don't like the politics move .If you don't like America move to another country, quit trying to socialize our country move to mexico socialize them

Sure, drop me a PM. It doesn`t sound right. I have heard anywhere from 20-50 years. In reality I don`t think anyone really knows when Oil will dry up. New sources are being discovered all the time as oil is a naturally occurring resource. Gives us time to diversify and let technology catch up.
