It is good for us strategically as well as good for us environmentally to keep our natural reserves as long as possible. The technology becomes safer and cleaner every year. We gain a lot by buying or oil from other countries while oil is still relatively cheap- and I think that is what we should be doing. "


The only reason why oil from other countries is "still relatively cheap" is because it is still profitable for countries without onerous environmental regulations to drill. And logic would lead you to conclude that the lack of tight regulations would be the main contributor to "environmental devastation. Are you advocating that our industries assume immoral business practices because it is good "strategically" and keeps our fuel prices relatively low?
