I say, drill as soon as possible in any area of the U.S.where it is known that oil or gas is available. We MUST get out from under the yoke of OPEC.

Also, exploration of other energy alternatives to oil and gas should be put on the fast track.

Someone, it may have been Q, said that we should have started distancing ourselves from OPEC in the 1970's. I agree.
