By not drilling enough in the USA we have shipped alot greenbacks out of the country. This has in turn led to a weaker dollar. A weaker dollar makes exports of manufactured goods grow. Of course this results in more manufacturing activity in the USA. We have quite a bit of oil here in the USA that we are not touching. By drilling for it we could vastly improve our balance of trade. If we did this our dollar would strengthen markedly. Thus the simple green are going to be given a Mortons Fork soon. Between the devil and the deep blue sea the american electorate will soon turn and choose more drilling. If I were a simple green I would choose this. Oil drilling has no effect on the environment. Even if there were an oil spill the stuff is energy rich bacteria food and self cleans rapidly. Either way the religion of the simple green will soon be under assault.
