But in the big picture, for what's claimed to be a finite resource, oil is still a cheap commodity. Does it not make sense to buy it from others while it is cheap, and when our suppliers start to dry up around the globe, rest on the comforting fact we have our own untapped source tucked away in our own basement, which will have certainly gone up in value, and could be a very valuable export product to US if/when that day comes?


Just a thought...
No, Obama wants us to be green tomorrow, this will not happen, if we produce say 10 million more barrels a day of oil the world price would plumment, this would be good. Bye the time we go more green cost effective we will have eons of oil in the ground. I would rather pay Americans for oil than the terriosts that have us by the balls now. Drill in America and keep our $$ at home not abroad
