I disagree. It is working. Our dependence on oil has decreased. But oil markets are world-wide so while we use less, China and India are using more. Or did you just want to complain about a government agency?
Cost benefit might suggest it's money well spent. How bad would the economy be if we simply left mpg standard up to the car companies and we never challenged them? Or didn't advocate for alternative sources of energy.
It is honestly my pleasure.

I never said there was.........people are just stifling the entire process.........R & D can always be going on, but we need to be drilling too for the fuel we use NOW........

You simply don't get it---there is a surplus of domestic oil. Increasing this surplus will not lower the prices at the pump--it will simply increase oil reserves. Oil speculators are controlling the price and gouging us at the pump.

You stated that speculators are not the problem. I then asked for your solution to the problem. Simple question.

Canada wanted the pipeline to our refineries to process the oil for export .
But we as a nation have for the last 10, 20 and 30 years been claiming that any new oil drill will take years to make it to market and have not done anything about it.
Oil is a natural resource , having been here longer than man has.
So instead of "kicking the can down the road " why won't somebody today make the choice to expand our production.
They could come out looking as winners is they only stated "we are doing this for the children. "

Well, I just got back from the World's largest bank and they flat turned me down for a $500 million loan to build the world's largest home ever built. I told them under assets that I had $2303 billion undiscovered dollars and for some odd reason they told me that didn't qualify as being either real or provable. Gee, I don't understand what their problem is!
