When I was skimming through my RSS feeds I came across an item where Sarah Palin was again pushing drilling for oil to solve the energy dependency problems of the U.S. A return to the “Dril, baby, drill” agenda she has been pushing since the last presidential election campaign.

Anyone with access to a search engine can easily figure out that the amount of oil the U.S. has won’t put a significant dent in the imports of foreign oil. Drilling for more oil in the U.S. will not solve the energy dependency problems.
