I am bitching about not drilling enough, we have more oil than any other place on earth, yet we send our money to other countries, why?
Dependency of foreign oil was 10% in 1970, it was 65% in 2004 and is starting to drop, not because of policy, because of recession. it's around 50% now. Jimmy Carter started the DOE to help keep that number down, didn't work very well

If battery powered cars is so easy, why don't we all have one? Why isn't the private sector making them? They should sell like fucking pancakes.
And if we importing 65% of our oil in 2004 and now we are only importing 50%, we are moving in the right direction. We are issuing more permits, drilling more, and our dependency on foreign oil is less.... That's idea.
