<< It would take ten years to get even to that point, by which time chances are we would be consuming 5% more oil than we are now. Thus, the drilling wouldn't reduce our dependence on foreign oil one whit.>> Seems to me it would reduce that extra 5% by 100%. <<President Bush could initiate a program designed to reduce our dependence on foreign oil by developing alternative fuels and energy technologies in an all-out national effort, with the goal of reducing our consumption of oil by 80% within a decade. >> 80% in a decade is a bit out of reach. However if you had read the Bush energy policy, Clinton never had one, that Bush has called for the development of hydrogen burning vehicles, more use of soy diesel and ethanol to replace gasoline and burn cleaner and for more use of coal and burning it much cleaner.
