Answer 1

The Global Rig count is over 4500. The U.S. Rig count is over 2000. Nearly half. The U.S. is drilling for oil. The problem is greed. No government or political party is going to put the needs of the people ahead of the almighty dollar.

Answer 2

It's all political. The Republicans want more drilling, so the Democrats are dead set against it. They don't care if it hurts the country and people or not. They just have to oppose whatever the Republicans do.

They should all be kicked out of office for serving their own interests rather than those of the American people.

(Silentkilla...the areas they want to develop oil in Alaska are barren tundra. There will be zero environmental impact. But the dems always show pictures of these spectacular scenic wonderlands saying that they will be ruined.)

Answer 3

please locate geographically where the oil is in the US. if your thinking the Gulf od Mexico, there isnt THAT much. also alaska got some but the wildlife is more important than  us getting our oil.
