first if we want to be independent on oil we should not drill ours away but save it for the future if it becomes necessary. using it now is crazy.
next is that they computed that if we tapped it all then it would decrese our gas price at the pump about one cent a gallon during the period till it was exhasted.
then to top it off being so far away it is most likely most of the oil drilled would just be sold to japan anyway as it would bring more money there rather than shipping it to the lower states. so it really is just a money raiser for big oil. with subidies from us taxpayers. so you get to pay more anyway. watch what you wish for.
