The U.S. contains ~ 2% of the worlds oil and consumes ~ 20%. The solution isn't drill, drill, drill.. Its much more complex. Drill baby drill is nothing but a bumper sticker.

I'm a veteran of the oil shortages going back to the 70's. And ever since then the ones who fought the construction of new nuke plants and new refineries and drilling in oil rich areas weren't the Republicans, but were the tree hugging leftists and those who lived in fantasy land. If we would have done those things 30 years ago we wouldn't be still talking about it. I'm no fan of the Republicans but it is partly Obama's fault and the fault of the idiots in his party, his base, and those that preceded him.
