For once (besides during the 2000 campaign when he claimed he was against nation building) I actually agree with George W. Bush.I never thought I'd be saying that.
As I highlighted in yesterday's article; offshore drilling is necessary if we would like to reduce the percentage of the nation's daily oil consumption that is satisfied by imports. Today this sentiment was echoed by President Bush.
While, for the foreseeable future, it will not be possible to completely eliminate oil imports; reducing them is vital. As alternative energy sources are put into practical use the consumption of oil in the United States will be reduced overall. Perhaps, several decades from now, very little oil will be burned in any way.
