Sure I did..

No, you didn't. You wrote about what 'you think' mindmeld thinks. And on that topic you seem to be wrong most of the time.

But for some god-awful reason, no one wants to permit our domestic oil/gas companies to drill here at home, or offshore.

What's stopping them? You know as well as I do. You can't afford deep off shore wells at $40 something a gallon. Unless you subsidize the crap out of the drilling.

So both sides are really in the same nasty catch-22 corner. As long as energy is really cheap we will be beholden to imports, which are a problem ready to explode (again). You can't drill for a (modest) increase in domestic supplies. You can't convince people to buy efficient energy clients for a (substantial) decrease in consumption.

So both sides are F'ed. What do you propose?
