How about 5 years down the line? Or 10? The span of your daughter's lifetime?

The impact in the short term is marginal. The impact in the long-term is non-existent.

Drilling for new oil does nothing UNLESS you are using it as a buffer while you find renewable resources to rely on.

Oil being a fungible commodity, and demand far outstripping supply, drilling at home won't change the current dynamic one iota.

  - Fail. - Dr.Vermin Mar 31, 10:59 1
    - show me where I attributed that attitude to you. -- nm - Reagen Mar 31, 11:01
