Today’s Winston-Salem Journal lead editorial:
Faced with the approaching loss of its eight-year hold on the White House, Big Oil is making one last push to increase domestic oil drilling with a false promise. North Carolinians should see right through it.
……Americans can’t be fooled by the false hopes raised by proposals for increased domestic drilling. This country retains about 3 percent of the world’s known oil reserves but uses about one quarter of the world’s supplies. We cannot drill our way out of our oil addiction.
‘We cannot drill our way out……’ I don’t know how many times I’ve heard those words in the past few days.
