The whole "drill, baby, drill" debate has been a sham....from the Republican 15-day show on the House floor during the latest recess to this Democratic bill.
Under any circumstances, new OCS drilling will have no impact for at least 20 years, and even then, the impact on supply and price will be marginal.
One provisions I like in this Democratic bill is that it ends the waiver on lease payments by big oil for drilling on public lands and the OCS....and commits that money to developing alternatives. But Bush will never sign a bill with that provision, even if were to pass through the Senate.
