As I listen to all the B.S.from all the so called experts, I realize why nothing ever gets done. Fact is we need to drill anywhere we can. The trouble with that is as long as we buy from OPEC we will never be self sufficent. We have acted like spoiled brats in keeping our energy costs low in this country. Everybody wants to know why all this land is leased up by oil companies and never drilled on. The answer is its not cost effective for them to spend their money, when OPEC controls oil prices. It’s basically the same as a factory moving out of the country because of labor being cheaper.Have you ever looked at where all the products you use are made? Well if we don’t start looking at these things we will have no jobs in this country. Same thing in the in the oil industry. We have put ourselves in this position by buying the cheapest products and that includes oil. We need to stop importing oil from countries that hate us entirely and that needed to start a long time ago. We didn’t do it then so we need to start today, no matter what the cost is. Quit crying and buy American products. It’s the only way to keep Americans working and fix the problems we have.
