There are a lot of things that affect the world price of oil and few are things we can control. Like growing demand from China, India, & others. Like foolish policies on the part of major producing nations like VZ, MX, Russia that lower their production. Like civil war in Nigeria. Etc etc. All of that is gonna affect the future price regardless of whether we drill the OCS and ANWR or not. helps balance of payments, creates jobs, brings in more federal and state taxes on new leases .. Good enough arguments for ending the leasing ban for me.
