What will drilling domestically for oil deliver?

The same as drilling faster, and more. Yes, prices will drop temporarilly. Great news, isn't it. But the Oil existing will be consumed faster, more ineffective, and at a certain moment the oil will be gone. And then???

You can look at domestic drilling as a way to span the transition to better fuels, renewable fuels, instead of hort term dropping prices. Now is not yet the time to drill domestically.

America would better start to switch to European level of cars, consuming down to only 30% of average american monsters. That is what is killing your car industry today, your jobs and your economy.
Prices of oil will drop because you consume less.
You would have to buy less gasoline at a lower price. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?

At the same time transition to renewables is key, if not you will in 20-30 years be condamned to walk or take the bike, because you were too stuburn to work at new fuels and used all the oil which can be gained at affordable prices.
