The Common Sense Of Domestic O&G Exploration

aux.link: Saudi oil output hike would not solve US problems: Bush

I hope this trip to Saudi Arabia was just a P.R. move by President Bush, because what he says next is the common sense most of us have known all along. But the visit was worth it alone for him to shine some light on this while in the region to make a point. He's really on a roll this week.

"Our problem in America gets solved when we aggressively go for domestic exploration. Our problem in America gets solved if we expand our refining capacity, promote nuclear energy and continue our strategy for the advancing of alternative energies as well as conservation," he said.

"One interesting thing about American politics these days is those who are screaming the loudest for increased production from Saudi Arabia are the very same people who are fighting the fiercest against domestic exploration, against the development of nuclear power and against expanding refining capacity."
