I think our party system has a little to do with it, remember Obama has shot down the drilling idea and a month or to ago he shot down the pipeline idea as well. I'm not saying it would go back down like it was twenty years ago but some relief would good when their predicting $5 $6$7 a gallon gas. You could be right though, how many times have we heard when a canadate gets into office their going to all this stuff and it doesnt happen. Heard Romney say he going to start drilling when he's in office, and I was thinking to my self, sure you will! His words sounded more outta desperation than a promise to me. Could be wrong though.
