#1 If a shortage of imported oil hits the US, the billion-dollar fishing industry can row itself out & back from the fishing grounds, and our tourist industry can bend over & kiss itself goodbye

#2 Yes, the dirty business of oil exploration and drilling is best left to the chinese or hugo. Energy, we don't need no stinking energy! So what if our mighty infratructure comes grinding to a halt for lack of the black stuff.

#3 The strategic solution to fighting terrorism needs a huge percentage of effort focused on getting off the imported oil habit. Once we stop funding the Saudi/Iranian fundamentalists, which in turn dries up the Pakistani and SE Asian madrassas, then we can watch the more virulent strain of radical Islam decline. In turn, the mainstream Islamists will slowly be lured from their dangerous religion and turn into Lutherans with funny rules. Nuclear energy, domestic oil, wind, sea, geothermal, coal, fuel-cell, gerbils on a treadmill, everything needs to be harnessed to cut off importing the thing that funds these people....

#4 Get the moonbats to go out and live with the baby seals they so ardently love, one day should do it, look for a turnaround as soon as they realize the filthy, nasty "Normal" conditions that pass for normal seal life, that they kill and eat other wildlife, and love moonbats (For Dinner)

Idiots.

#5 Every year since 1982, after an oil spill off Santa Barbara, Calif.

Natural seepage of oil off Santa Barbara has continued since then. Drilling for oil is the only way to stop this seepage.

#6 Though people point to Brazil's usage of ethanol, what is little reported is that it also went on a vast program of offshore drilling for oil, greatly increasing the amount produced. That doesn't fit the narrative, of course.
