It will be really great when we start drilling and refining what oil we can pump out of the ground in our country now so we can save a few cents a gallon for a few years.

I would like to believe that it's in our long term best interest to actually have oil underground that we can remove in the future.

Even if they started drilling today, it would be years before we would see any benefit. The cost of mounting the operations would be pretty staggering and they'd just pass those costs on to us in the form of higher gas prices anyway.

But I don't know everything about the oil industry so maybe I'm off base on my line of reasoning.
