thats just the opposition's excuse to keep us from drilling
the truth is that the speculators will see that there will be a ton of new supply coming in...considering we have more oil in our reserves than all of the middle east...and they will begin to start buying low and the price would come down in a matter of months...
strengthening the dollar would help as well...but...considering the housing market is kind of weak if you raise the interest rates you'll make the housing market worse...
but drilling is the most important thing as the weak dollar only affects the price of gas by like 70 cents and then the state and federal taxes that the government takes adds as much as 70 cents to the price per gallon
but drilling in my opinion would cut the price in half in a very short period of time...
besides saying we won't see the oil for 10 yrs and using it as an excuse for not doing it is like saying...don't go to school or college because you won't see the effects of it for years...
its a senseless argument made up by environmentalist marxists
