I wonder what those polls would look like if gasoline was over $4 a gallon?

Your question is, of course, rhetorical... when prices go back up again, as they inevitably will at some point, people will be much more willing for development. Especially since it will mean jobs.

If the American people who are against drilling in the US were subjected to what happened during the Arab Oil Embargo against the U.S. in the early 1970s, they would change their opinions very quickly.

Then you had long lines, amount of gas you could buy limits, stations running out of gas, only able to buy gas only on alternate days, fist fights over people cutting in line, etc.

I think every gas pump in america should ask the following prior to puming gas:

"Do you support offshore drilling?"

if you answer yes, your transaction is approved and you can pump gas, if you answer no, the pump will say

"THEN WALK"
