We should have done this long ago. However, us drilling in that Alaskan wasteland does not automatically equal a surplus in oil for fuel. We need to couple it with our refining capabilites, which are currently 10-20 years behind the times.
Unfortunately it won't happen though. Some enviro group probably already has a brief written and are currently searching the judicail calendars in order to shop for the right judge to put a halt to it. Ain't Democracy grand??!?!?!
