I can give you one reason why we should drill offshore.

With the recent missile testings in Iran, and turbulence in Nigeria, oil settled over $5 a gallon Thursday. Why does the events matter in Iran to what the oil prices are? Simple, we get oil from them! So, while these people threaten to cause even more danger on this planet, the oil traders decide to boost up the price.

If though, we used our own oil, and just our own oil, (you know, the oil that we have plenty of yet due to restrictions we can’t get) these silly little events in countries that we shouldn’t even pay attention too (as with the North Korea incident it seems that Iran just wants some more attention) shouldn’t matter so much with our prices. I’m all for alternative energy research. Water, wind, and solar power is all great, and are being used today, but we need more research to make it better and more usable for everyone. Our main energy source in the United States is oil. This oil we get from countries in South America and the Middle East, but we don’t need to. We have plenty of oil in the Gulf of Mexico, and plenty of oil in ANWR, but the restrictions due to drilling would be harmful makes us purchase products of another country.

So, go out there and spread the word. Tell your Congressmen to get on the ball here, and to let the United States drill offshore and in ANWR. We have the technology to keep everything safe, to protect the environement, and to keep everything clean - so there should be no worries. Tell everyone to get off the Green scam, and the Global Warming hype, and get back into reality, and get back to common sense. Oil prices are going up because we do not control them, so, let’s control them by using our own stuff.

Not only will this lower gas prices, but it will produce jobs, jobs in which many Americans need. Also, with lower gas prices people can get back into buying houses, and paying for houses, and going to work! Aha! A simple enough economy fix to me. So what’s the problem? Why aren’t we using Made In America oil?

Products made in America are always top quality, so buy American, and support offshore drilling and drilling in ANWR so we can continue to buy American, and to finally start using our own oi;
