During recent testomony to congress the oil companies all said that they were at only 80% production capacity. Also, Canada and Mexico are our largest oil suppliers, not the mideast. The US does need to increase oil production. There are multiple untapped fields available to us. The Dakotas, Anwar, and Escalante. All of these places have HUGE amounts of oil, that are available in one form or another. The problem is that they are all in protected areas because of environmental protections put on them. Either by Congress, for Anwar or by the president, Clinton gave Escalante special status. (And REALLY screwed the whole state of Utah) No one has touched the Dakotas, yet...
