What can we do about the oil in our own land?

Question

I have heard that we have some untapped oil resources right here in the USA. However, environmentalists are the ones preventing us from tapping into it. I even understand that in one state, we have oil potential for years, without using foreign oil. Why don't we just get out and start drilling? Are the environmentalists acting more like "enviro-n**i's", making sure that their agenda goes ahead of the needs of the US pubilc?

Answer 1

wow, if only that were half way true, all I know is people need to stop thinking in terms of scams and conspiracies
