Don't Buy Big Oil's Lies!
More oil drilling will not lower gas prices or create energy independence. It will only make the world's richest oil companies richer.
The U.S. sits on less than 3 percent of the world's oil reserves. Even if we drill every corner of America, the oil will amount to a drop in the bucket globally and won't have an impact on prices on the world market.
There isn't much left of America that isn't already open to oil drilling.
Oil companies
are already sitting on 68 million acres of leases they aren't even
drilling. Instead of drilling there, they just want to get their hands
on the last places that are protected-our natural treasures, wildlife
refuges, and pristine coastlines.
Offshore drilling is a dirty business. If we open our coasts to Big Oil, we can look forward to ruined beaches, oil-slicked wildlife, and toxic air and water pollution.
