Three points: first, I never ran for nationwide office and used that
campaign to advance any particular policy. When I do decide to run for such an
important office, I will be more than happy to explain my energy policies to
you.
Second, energy independence is a complex issue whose solutions don't
fit on a bumper sticker. They don't even fit in an email. Demanding such
simplistic answers, and proposing such simplistic consequences to not drilling,
demonstrates a fundamental unawareness of the problem.
Third, basic math shows that the current growth in the rate of fuel
consumption to be the problem, not the lack of drilling. If the known offshore
reserves were fully tapped and actually produced double the expected amounts,
it would at best prolong the inevitable by a year or two. So in a perfect world
where offshore drilling is safe and cheap and clean, you aren't doing anything
except ignoring the actual problem.
