The actual problem is that the Republicans that own many of the companies are only tapping 80% of their what they have. The other 20% they're hoarding. I actually think the Democrats are right on this one, the Dems want to open up that other 20% (which is the reason our prices are so high) before doing further drilling. Why waste money to drill and haul and then refine new oil when we have perfectly good oil sitting in drums under Mr. Cheney's butt.
