Jim is quite right about US oil supplies. I have no idea why "you just can't buy the argument" - this is not a policy question, it is a factual issue. We have lots and lots of coal, but not much oil, and especially not much oil left (since we've been sucking it out of the ground for a century).
But right now, the numbers for usage are just way too huge for the above to make any impact, nor would using up all our liquid oil in the ground help much.

Explain how this justifies not drilling off the coasts of CA & FL? CA hasn't allowed a new refinery in forever. It's time for a little common sense.
