The same folks that prevented drilling have prevented refineries as well. Yes we need a few more. You want more jobs...build refineries and drill. The leases are in areas that will not produce like where they want to go. Most places had test wells and produced little to nothing. They had 6 wells on the Grand Banks...not much there.
They only want t 2000 acres in ANWAR which is 1/2 of 1% of the area.
Image how bad things will be in 10 years if you don't start drilling here....just from a domestic security, not to mention the economy.
I am for developing most alternatives (and a big proponent of nuclear) as well but they are a ways off as well. So lets get it in gear, build baby build!
Lets face it you are not going to see a solar powered airliner in our children's lifetimes. Imagine what the cost of travel, shipping, and goods will be with $ 50-100/gallon gasoline. This could happen if they don't start now. Forget about the pleasure boating industry... this is history now. No new boats (of any size...those are the ones with profits) are selling at all, none. Most will be gone forever after a couple more years of this.
