Petroleum is the life blood of the global economy. Gasoline is not where the majority of Crude oil goes, despite what we often think.

It's used to make many products we all need to live our lives, whether we like it or not.

Less drilling in the U.S. means more dependency on Foreign Oil. A very dangerous option that puts the Middle East in a more important light than we may want.

Just because one of the 3500 Oil wells in the Gulf has failed, it doesn't mean we shouldn't continue to pursue deep sea drilling as an option. The other energy options are Nuclear, Coal, Wind and a few others, but we all know how popular these are.

Why don't we ban all Automobiles when there's a fatal car accident? We don't because we know we need them, and it's the same situation with Crude Oil. Statements to the contrary are wrought with misinformation and demogagary.
