Our refineries provide our needs what is not provided is our own oil. And every time this subject comes up, it's the same old excuse it will take years to build or do anything. Hell if we moved 10 yrs we would not be in this crises. But to a liberal oil is evil.

Now I love speculators they tell us of our future problems. Just like the S&P moving our credit to a negative. But of course you would like government to be in control of price fixing. The problem is our government could not control the price of oil as it is traded on the world market.

Just the announcement of drilling in ANWAR and offshore and elsewhere would create confidence and the price of oil would drop overnight. Further we would be bringing our 500 billion now sent offshore back home and all the jobs that go with it. This would create a boom for this country. But again to the Dem's oil is evil. And their answer is windmills and solar that are doing nothing to reduce our need for oil. Not a single drop.

We have less refining capacity today than we did when Carter was president.
It makes it far more profitable for the oil companies, every time there is a refinery outage, they get to raise the price.
Announcing we are going to drill in ANWAR wouldn't move the price of oil a nickel, there isn't that much oil in ANWAR.

This country needs to be rebuilt, too much of it's infrastructure is designed to burn a lot of oil. We need to get over the fact that we aren't an oil rich nation, were are a user, not a supplier, and the thing that every user nation must do, is to tax oil heavily, to encourage alternatives.
And it will require the government to lead, and to spend on infrastructure, or to be the big loser in global economics with the most energy inefficient infrastructure to go along with the most inefficient health care system.
