The following stats are an indication that we need to continue to produce more oil, at least in the short and medium term. Conservation, alternative fuels, and expansion of non-oil energy are vital for the long term but the opening of ANWR and offshore drilling are vital in the short and medium term. Politicians should not tie the hands of the producers but promote and encourage increased production.
---------Oil Consumption per person (2006)
US------------24.5 barrels
China----------1.8 barrels
India-----------0.8 barrels
While our consumption has leveled off it is inevitable that China and India consumption will increase dramatically. (Tim)
