Drilling

Why is it that so many people think drilling is not the answer to high fuel prices? The US has more proven oil reserves than any other nation. People say we will just be postponing the inevitable. Yea, let's run our economy into the ground so we can hurry and get electric cars. We will be postponing nothing. There are already strong efforts being made to produce alternative, and energy efficient commodities. So why not drill now, lower fuel prices, and save our economy for the time being until we get fuel efficient. I am all for fuel efficiency, but let's save our economy and learn to save fuel.
