We cannot drill our way out of this oil crisis. Since 2000, oil companies working in the U.S. have doubled the number of wells drilled per year.
Although increased drilling has added new oil to the nation's supply, it has not done so fast enough to offset the terminal decline of existing fields.
We are going to have to import more of our oil. Period.
Here it is 60 minutes _________________ Resources exist to be consumed. And consumed they will be, if not by
this generation then by some future. By what right does this forgotten
future seek to deny us our birthright? None I say! Let us take what is
ours, chew and eat our fill.

Looked pretty good, pretty realistic and not much pie in the sky. This is what we need to see on, as you perhaps inadvertantly suggested, 60 minutes. Or 20/20, MacNeil/Lehrer, etc. Despite the Ireland-centricity, it's a good primer to the topic. I'll be forwarding this to a few friends, in a last-ditch effort to show them I'm not just making this crap up... _________________ "If a path to the better there be, it begins with a full look at the worst." — Thomas Hardy
