Offshore drilling is a FAKE issue

I'm not gonna write a whole lot about this because it is beyond the point of frustrating. So what happens if the U.S. drills offshore? Companies, which have had access to thousands of other untapped areas for decades, try to go find oil elsewhere. Should they find oil, guess what? It goes on the market to the highest bidder, just like regular old foreign oil does. There's another part to that too, an oil we find offshore won't have a significant effect on the global market, because the amount we're looking for is pretty negligible on the whole.

Now here's the MOST OBVIOUS part that the news NEVER talks about. It's gonna be several years before people even get to see the results of offshore drilling. It might take a decade for us to even see the results of all that! Think about that. I wanna shove my head through a brick wall when people constantly talk about this. We're talking about oil that may or may not exist, or if it does exist, its effects will not be felt until Britney Spears's kid is getting ready for high school!
