What is the 'real' reason this Country (USA) doesn't use more of our own oil supply?

Because ';we're'; not allowing drilling in ANWR or off our coasts, and new refineries haven't been built in decades. If you had to buy most of your raw product from someone overseas and then process it through limited refinery output, how do you think that would work for you?


The GOVERNMENT makes more on a gallon of gas than the oil companies do.What is the 'real' reason this Country (USA) doesn't use more of our own oil supply?
Environmentalists have no say in anything. The EPA and the World Wildlife Fund among others are funded directly by the Rockefeller Foundation. The Rockefeller family owns controlling stock in some of the largest Oil and Energy companies in the world! I hope you all see the irony in this, please tell me you do!


This is about creating artificial scarcity so that a small group of men can manipulate energy prices and availability AT WILL. You really think a bunch of hippies are somehow stopping them from drilling in Alaska? Give me a break! If they wanted to drill in Alaska, they would drill in Alaska, and that's just how it is. You people really need to understand what is going on behind the scenes, not just what they show you on CNN.What is the 'real' reason this Country (USA) doesn't use more of our own oil supply?

lol at everyone who said ';environmentalists and liberals.';





That's exactly what the oil companies WANT you to think. You people are so gullible.





Short answer, corporations run our government. Do you honestly think the 'powers that be' allow themselves to be influenced by environmentalists?





The oil companies must maintain artificial scarcity for numerous reasons.





This should be OBVIOUS!!!
Because the liberal democrats are more concerned with saving trees than drilling for the oil that we have available. Alaska has oil but we cannot get to it because the land is protected. How freeking stupid is that? Democrats are idiots.
environmentalist or my favorite, we are using the worlds oil so when it all dries up, we will be in the same position as a saudi arabia or iraq, king of the oil ma', king of the oil.
Environmental lobbyists petition (perhaps bribe) politicians to prevent domestic oil exploration and building of refineries.
Environmentalists/Democrats have a lot of influence, they control congress right now.
Two words: Environmentalist Wackos.
