"As gas prices rise and economic recovery stalls, environmentalist-friendly politicians (not to be confused with environment-friendly politicians) continually invent reasons why we cannot and should not drill our own domestic oil: our carbon emissions are accelerating global warming; we must invest in green technology before China outperforms us; we do not have enough oil to make a dent in global gasoline prices. And of course, my favorite myth of all: our domestic oil supply is running drastically low. Environmental-fear-mongers have been insisting that the world will shortly run out of oil supplies for decades, but we continue to discover more and more."
