I cannot believe how stupid these politicians are! America uses 25% of te world's oil and we only have 3% of the worlds oil near our shores--- Do the MATH people! It will take 10 years for use to see any of the oil pumped from our shores, and it won't cause the rices to srop- you still have to pay for the new rigs and the new staff to work the rigs. In the mean time, ALL it WILL DO is line the pockets of CEOs, cause more damage to the environment and reduce the effort to find CLEAN ALTERNATIVES! Green peace is right America is addicted to Oil!
