How low will gas prices go if we allow offshore oil drilling? And how long will it take?
It is worth it as responder #1 explained. It is also long-overdue, but it is not the ultimate solution because oil that is usable is finite, like coal. It took millions of years for the Earth to create, so once we use it up, it’s gone. Transitioning to “alternative energy” is also necessary, and the US should be following the examples of Germany and France. Reopen closed nuclear power plants and build new ones NOW! Hopefully the US will come to its senses about Ethanol in gasoline, it is a hoax that it is better and we already have seen that it’s not cheaper – thanks to Ethanol, our food prices are higher and it costs more to make than it saves! We’re starting to see the Domino Effect here, I hope Congress will step up and help the country fix all of the mistakes we’ve allowed to be made over the years!
