Well the politics may have changed, but the facts haven't...Offshore drilling would not lower gas prices today. It would not lower gas prices tomorrow, it would not lower gas prices this year, it would not lower gas prices five years from now...
...Believe me, if I thought there was any evidence at all that drilling could save people money who are struggling to fill up their gas tanks by the summer or by this year or even the next few years, I would consider it. But it won't...
...This is a proposal that would only worsen our addiction to oil and put off needed investments in clean, renewable energy. It's not the kind of change that the American people are looking for."
