Oversimplification #1: We must drill for oil here at home so we can reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Simplification: In ten years, when this new oil is eventually produced, it will end up on the WORLD OIL MARKET, where it will go to the highest bidder. Oil pumped from Florida beaches and the Alaskan wilderness will very likely end up in a Chinese gas tank. It's like telling a heroin addict to grow poppies in his back yard, then processing the drug for sale to junkies worldwide. At least we're contributing to the supply...
