Follow-up on oil drilling: Yes! we know it takes time to set up a wells but why not let OPEC see this?

It is strange that Dems/Libs have a mantra, we can't drill our way out of this. True! but where are the alternatives and we all have cars that run on gasoline. Most of us can't go out and purchase a $75,000 automobile. Meanwhile gas prices soar because we are dependent on foriegners.Follow-up on oil drilling: Yes! we know it takes time to set up a wells but why not let OPEC see this?
One thing to consider is that a little extra production can have a huge effect on domestic gasoline prices. We are not trying to replace imported oil - merely supplement it with less expensive domestic oil.





We are not going to make prices come down - but we can reduce future price increases.Follow-up on oil drilling: Yes! we know it takes time to set up a wells but why not let OPEC see this?
You make very good points. And I agree.
