We need to become more energy independent. How is this so hard to understand? We have a lot of this resource right under or feet, and oil companies are not allowed to get it. Oh, I know the big bad oil companies are evil. Right. I look at it this way. They are producing a product that allows me to drive to the store and pick up almost any product I want. If they were not there, not only would I have to walk to the store, but there would be no products there.

This country runs on oil. It will until someone discovers a better product to use. No, using our corn supply is not a better solution. Not only is it less efficient than oil based products, it is driving food costs through the roof.

Drill our oil!
