Lay off the talking points
Gasoline generates wealth, it doesn't consume wealth. Energy is the lifeblood of industrial societies.

Middle Eastern nations are awash in oil, and their countries are third-world crap-cans. Why? Because all they are getting is money. We are getting energy and turning it into wealth. The Middle East countries have mercantile economies.

The real danger is that because energy is our lifeblood, letting someone who hates us stand on our jugular is asinine. The solution, of course, is change the source of the lifeblood.

Which is all a fancy way of saying: Drill locally.
