TOS was being flippant, but in this case, I agree with him.
Lets insource all the environmental degradation, oil spills, etc.
It's easy to get the oil from the Middle East, if by 'easy' you mean endless war.
We should take responsibility for our addiction to oil, and we should realize first hand the reality of squeezing oil out of the planet...it's messy and environmentally disastrous.
So, why not?
Frack away!
Let's get away from foreign oil and instead feed our addiction by raping and ruining our own land: hey, at least that's honest.
And when the water table is completely ruined, so what?
Actually, the French own A LOT of our water supply, so we'll just be ruining the water supply that they own.
Look it up.
