no free lunch

If the irate media and public want lower oil prices we are going to have to drill for oil in the United States. For years there has been a concerted effort by environmentalist extremists and flat earthers, abetted by the media, to dupe the public into believing that by conserving and prohibiting drilling we can feed our energy needs.. Public lands, and some private lands , have been declared off limits for oil exploration and while these actions have contributed to higher oil prices the ireffutable fact is that as China and India grow into industrial nations they will use more oil. Unless we have our own sources we are going down the tube and perhaps to war .The oil companies and the administration are not to blame for high prices ;the world demand for a commodity in short supply drives prices. Wake up, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
