Answer 3

Absolutely.  How can we expect other countries to drill when we won't drill on our land?  Also, the drilling area is so miniscule in the big picture, it really is worth it to drill.  We need to not be so dependant on foreign oil.

I think we need to drill off the coast cause china is doing it... Why should they get to take our oil, I hate the leader of this country at times.

Answer 5

because this is where the oil is? well, just drill wherever there is oil

Yes, but not now.

We should first use oil in other countries as long as we can afford it.  Only then should we tap our own reserves.

US Needs Foreign Oil
