I encourage you all to vote people into office who will shut off even more of this country to development, so we're in an even tighter pinch for natural resources to feed our own economy.

This way, we can help China become the dominate economy in the world, and for at least the next 10 or 15, we can feel like we "saved the environment" until China comes and takes us over then develops OUR natural resources for themselves and our entire way of life has been banned! YAY!

It's not like we're not drilling. We're just not drilling the huge wells on our land. Believe it or not, we SELL oil to china. And we sell a lot. By drilling everyone else's oil and not drilling our own, we are securing our future in energy. Yes, it's costing us more right now, but later you're going to appreciate the reasoning behind this when we're still the richest country and everyone else is struggling to prosper because they can't afford OUR oil.

Yes, we could tap out our cheap oil now instead of spending the money to get the stuff across the world in Iraq or the really expensive stuff 15,000 ft under the ocean. So what? For short run gains? The price of gas drops by a dollar for a few years? And then when China is running at full capacity and they REALLY want oil, then what? Then we'll be competing for oil even more so than we are now.

I say we take as many wells as we can now, and leave our stuff for ourselves later. We're not desperately hurting for oil, so we can afford to hoard.
