The House of Representatives is advancing a series of bills designed to permanently block access to huge portions of America's vast oil reserves. Dr. Jay Lehr reports at CFACT.org that the House wants endless moratoriums (depending on the bill) on pumping oil in the Atlantic and Pacific outer continental shelf, the Gulf of Mexico, along the Florida coast, the entire Arctic National Wildlife refuge (ANWR) and others. The 1973 Arab oil embargo proved just how dangerous dependence on foreign oil can be. Many of us still remember skyrocketing prices, long lines at the pump, out of control inflation and throbbing economic pain.
