American needs to drill here drill now. America is having a energy crisis and we need to do something now!

Urge Congress and pass a bill to drill in America, where

the United States has vast oil and gas resources onshore and offshore that are currently illegal to develop and therefore inaccessible.

U.S. law prohibits the development of approximately 38 billion barrels of undeveloped oil resources (19 billion barrels onshore and 18.92 billion offshore).

U.S. law prohibits the development of approximately 180 trillion cubic feet of undeveloped natural gas resources (94.5 trillion cubic feet onshore and 85.7 trillion cubic feet offshore).

CONGRESS RECENTLY VOTED TO MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO DEVELOP U.S. OIL SHALE RESOURCES

With oil prices at an all-time high, Americans are facing escalating gas, diesel, and aircraft fuel increases. Oil prices are projected to increase further.

Congress, however, has made it illegal to develop vast domestic oil resources in large parts of the United States.

The most startling Congressional prohibition on domestic oil production concerns the recently enacted ban on the development of oil shale resources in parts of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming in the Green River Formation. According to a Rand Study estimate, this reserve contains over one trillion barrels of oil, with 800 billion barrels fully recoverable, or three times the current oil reserves as Saudi Arabia:

Your turn Nan! by Jessi Olson

Jessi writes……..

There is a new lift and I don’t mean Nancy Pelosi’s eye brows. President Bush lifts executive ban on offshore drilling. There are two prohibitions on offshore drilling one imposed by Congress led my Nan herself, and another by executive order signed by the president which was done in 1990.  So rah rah rah to Bush for starting the ball rolling.  As stated by Bush “The only thing standing between the American people and these vast oil resources is action from US Congress,” so Congress what are you going to do about it?  We as Americans must stand firm and remain vigil in our fight against the pump!

This move was back up by presidential hopeful John McCain who called to open the Outer Continental Shelf for exploration.  The Jr Senator Barack Obama has opposed this idea and would like to help consumers with a second economic stimulus package including an energy rebate and so on and so forth.  Blah blah blah blah! Well this is what I say to that….really?????  Let me remind you readers that when the stimulus came up the first time the Jr senator was too busy to vote on it.  So why the heck do I think he will come through on this one. 

America watch our economy tumble even farther if we don’t do something now about oil.  Drill here Drill now.  Here are some very helpful resources and other blogs supporting this cause:
