More oil will buy us time to develope more efficient cars. More American oil will mean less money in the pockets of those who do not have our best intrest at heart. In the short term, America may not feel the need to go to war to protect some other countries oil. And in the short run, more Americans will be put to work. Nuke energy is the way to go if we plan to develop eletric cars for the future. Yet, Obama is not for doing that, nor is he for drilling for oil either. I don't see him as one with enought wisdom, or one who has our best intrest at heart. If America is to remain strong, we need to look at all energy solutions. I can see right now, Obama would be a do nothing president. When there are crucial choices to be made, he would be voting present.
