Here is an excerpt from our Energy Policy:
America's future has been mortgaged to our addiction to fossil fuels. Global warming, instability in the Middle East, and high gas prices are just a few of the warning signs of the price we are paying for our inertia about our energy lifestyles.
Most American families are hard-pressed by the rapid increases in the price of gasoline. Some are calling for drilling on federal property in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge. I am opposed to these proposals. Oil companies are currently utilizing only one quarter of area leased for drilling. Estimates are that 79% of the available oil in the Gulf of Mexico is within the area currently available for drilling. It will be decades before large amounts of oil flow from new fields, so they will not reduce the burden on consumers in the short and medium terms. These fields are further offshore or in harsh climates, making them far more expensive to develop than existing fields. More than 25 years have passed since a major refinery was built in the United States, and an increase in the flow of crude will not affect the price of gasoline if that bottleneck continues. The fields proposed are in sensitive and irreplaceable natural environments, and don't hold enough oil to justify the risks to these priceless habitats. Oil companies drilling on government land should be required to pay royalties at world market rates for oil recovered there. These royalties should be used to fund research, development, and implementation of clean renewable alternative fuel technology to supplement or replace fossil fuels.
