Palin extended the debate over oil versus the environment to cost. She raised the question of oil imports versus oil exports. Worldwide oil discovery shatters the shortage myth. Could American technology develop enough oil at prices of $25-$40 per barrel? Will this bring infra-structure to revive the economy and bring jobs back to the United States. As a net exporter, will budget surpluses create a strong dollar? A return to Reagan’s “city on a hill.”
Can optimism replace pessimism? Can our immigration policy attract the world’s best educated and productive workers while protecting our borders from those who would use our economy to transfer wages back to a mother country. Welfare, medical and education costs fall instead of rising. Our military attains a competency sufficient to dissuade aggression. This is a Reagan-like spirit of can-do rather than “shall not.” Let the greenies compete to drive costs down, not up. Acknowledge that billions of years of a sun, billions of miles away, cannot be influenced by well-meaning reformers.

There is not enough oil in the world let alone in US control to produce the energy needed by America in the next 40 years.
The suggestion that we can export is not only rediculous, it's dangerous. These last oil fields under US control need to be part of our military reserve not sold away to the highest bidder.
