It is short sighted to argue we should drill for oil as much as possible in the usa

We should focus on exploiting the resources of other countries first

We should treat our own oil like a bank account and use it strategically and save some for when things start gettin outta control down the road

Governments r bad at competency but what they should do is have gas prices high enough to encourage alt energy but not so high it's un afford able

    I agree.

Sadly,  other countries don't like America enough to allow exploitation anymore.

Well, I guess if people think it's too high, they can vote the Democrats out of power.

Why? It is way better to be energy independent

Yes it is. FRACKING HAS PROVED DETRIMENTAL TO THE ENVIRONMENT.

Russian missiles and Iranian nukes are also detrimental. The climate war is over. China and Russia won the war.

I often wonder why we don't attempt to utilise more, that which the Sun provides freely in amounts way beyond our actual needs.
