MORE DRILLING FOR OIL: “Environmentalist opposition to drilling in some areas has done us a favor by delaying the use of that oil until we really needed it. Of course, that wasn’t their intent.”

I remember back in the ’70s, Malcolm S. Forbes suggested a strategy of importing as much oil as possible, especially from Arab nations, and drilling as little as possible at home, so that when the Arabs ran out of oil, we’d still have some.
