Yes I'm sure you have heard the argument before, The Democrats are the reason for us not drilling in ANWR and off the Florida coast. What the right wing media never tells you is:
"Actually, the Interior report shows 40 percent of oil reserves on federal lands are currently open to leasing. Another 22 percent of oil reserves on federal lands are undergoing required environmental reviews before being opened to leasing. That leaves 38 percent of oil reserves on federal lands actually listed as off-limits. "
There you have it folks, the oil companies don't want to drill on the lands that they can drill on which should help with gas prices but the G.O.P. or "Gas & Oil Posse" will sit there and blame the Democrats and the FoxNews crowd will believe them hook, line and sinker.

Read this, if you can stomach it.
"A new report from the Bush administration says most of the oil and more than 40 percent of the natural gas beneath public lands in the United States are off-limits to drilling."
Sorry I stopped reading after I saw Bush administration.
So that just means the 60% the oil companies can drill on, they are not doing so.
and my quote said the same thing. 38% off limits. HAHAHA!!!
