People are deluding themselves if they think this will have more than the most marginal impact on energy prices

to say nothing of "energy independence".

Responses:

low energy prices aren't the main goal here, I think. - znufrii Mar 31, 10:37 3
- I think it's a) a bone to throw to those who think it'll lower energy prices significantly and b) a bit of a make work project - Reagen Mar 31, 10:39 2
  - I'm just happy they're using a competetive bidding process instead of giving oil leases away for hookers and crack -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 10:45 1
    - and I found this interesting re: where oil prices are hanging out at the moment... -- (link) - znufrii Mar 31, 10:47
Baby steps, Reagen. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 31, 10:34 13
- baby steps to what? It's a dead end. -- nm - Reagen Mar 31, 10:36 12
  - Why reform health care? Everybody dies in the end. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 31, 10:41 11
    - You couldn't be missing my point by more. What is your end goal from offshore drilling? - Reagen Mar 31, 10:45 10
      - Jobs and a stimulated local economy. I don't need to look 100 years down the road. - Dr.Vermin Mar 31, 10:51 8
        
        If you're not taking a long view, then what does the phrase "baby steps" even refer to? -- nm - mara Mar 31, 11:01
        
        How about 5 years down the line? Or 10? The span of your daughter's lifetime? - TWuG Mar 31, 10:55 5
        
        It'll change the local dynamic, both short and potentially long term. - Dr.Vermin Mar 31, 10:57 4
        
        I think you're stepping in to argue against something that I'm not arguing against. -- nm - Reagen Mar 31, 10:59 3
        
        Fail. - Dr.Vermin Mar 31, 10:59 1
        
        show me where I attributed that attitude to you. -- nm - Reagen Mar 31, 11:01
        
        (make that last 'against' a 'for') -- nm - Reagen Mar 31, 10:59
        
        except that wasn't what I was arguing against - Reagen Mar 31, 10:55
      - mini tsunami wave park! -- nm - Max Mar 31, 10:50
