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.

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. Why don't we drill in Anwar and find out how much oil is there? You're using talking points from the left.

The point is--this country will NEVER be completely energy independent--we will ALWAYS need oil. Wind and solar alone is not going to power this country.

Our electric utility companies are mostly oil--natural gas and coal fired. That's how the lights turn on across this country.

This is how Obama works. Make it miserable for the American public--then subsidize the auto industry in his cash for clunkers program--with taxpayer dollars--and then find out that most of the new cars that were subsidized were manufactured by foreign auto makers--

Then the icing on the cake: Changing the electric grid. Experts in the field stated they needed 110 billion out of the so-called economic stimulus bill to complete it--and they only got 11 billion. Then we sent 20 billion dollars to China out of the stimulus bill so they could build wind turbines for us.

You voted for it--you got it.
