"All we need is a sensible energy policy and the will and courage of our politicians to let the oil industry free to explore both oil and gas."

Unfortunately our politicians are ALL under the thumbs of the oil producing nations for one reason or another. I am afraid their concern of the impact of our independence on them INSTEAD on the needs of our country. How very unfortunately.

Even the Russians were smart enough to begin drilling and are now exporting to participate in the growing export revenues.

If we are not addressing the obvious how there be any HOPE for anything that might be more complex?

It is past time for a regime change in America.
