i agree with the right on this. I rather us use our oil reserves and also sell some of that oil overseas instead of using foreign oil so much. It would boost the economy, create provide plenty of jobs and the extra tax money coming in could be used to research a renewable green energy. 

Are we gonna compete with Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and the newly and hungry candidate Iran? Good luck with that.

Also, you really think oil lobbyists will let government subsidize renewable energy without a fight? 

Mornelithe explained that well. 

If we allow the oil companies to have at it on the oil reserves in the US then they can't really complain about subsidized renewable energy. It's a give and take. They already know that it just a matter of time before some better, cheaper, renewable and more efficent energy source will replace oil. Let them make their money while they can while the government gets a flood of tax money. It's a win/win/win/win/etc for the US if we actually do something with the oil. 

Democrats aren't doing anything with it.
