As the price of oil soars above $100 a barrel, Americans are experiencing sticker shock at the pump and economists are concerned about our fledgling economic recovery. Solutions exist that can get us off the oil market roller coaster, but they won't be found in more domestic oil fields.

No matter how vocal the drilling supporters become, they still won't be able to address America's acute vulnerability to the whims of the global oil market.

Some people would say we are being smart and sucking the foreigners dry before we use our own oil.

I think we should drill more though.

Read the article - if we tap all the known reserves in the U.S. tomorrow we'll have a 3 year supply.

Don't tell me you believe that.

The USA has less than 4% of the world's population. Meanwhile, for decades the USA has ruthlessly destroyed the planet using over 25% of the world's production of petroleum products.

Go65 is correct and on target (as most always)

Don't tell me you believe that.

We have about 21 billion barrels of known reserves, we import about 4-5 billion barrels a year. So figure a 3-4 year supply if all known reserves are instantly tapped.

There's the possibility of another 100-120 billion barrels out there, but drilling would take years assuming it's feasible and you ignore the environmental impacts.
