According to Bloomberg today, China is now drilling for and looking for more oil. We know they are locking up relationships with future oil producers. My question for you guys, at what point in price will we drill for oil in the US? We know we can get our oil without damage to the environment, we know we have lots of it, our friends in Mexico and Canada are getting oil to market (selling most of it to us...).

So why won't we do this? More jobs for Americans, lower prices, etc.

I know why, I know it is due in large measure to two issues: regulatory and tax burdens that drive exploration outside the US & liberal policy makers who want to force us out of our cars.

What do you guys think? If gas is 10 bucks a gallon, we will turn our American 'can do' attitude toward getting our own oil?
