On a short term basis it would probably be good, the problem is every time we get in an oil price bind we scream until they come up with another short term fix and then we do nothing about alternative energy source investment. Then the next emergency of our own making comes along and, with a total lack of irony, scream the same crud again.

Just the threat of it has dropped prices by 20 cents per gallon where I live. What will happen when we start to actually drill?

No, it would be good, because we do not have energy independence, the direction of the oil industry determines the direction of our economy. If we continue to have high gas prices, we one day might not have enough money to invest in energy independence.
