can someone explain to me how drilling for oil will ease our dependence on foreign oil? As far as I know, we buy our oil on the open market. The private companies that will be drilling/refining the oil will be selling it on the open market. If anything, it may drop the price of oil lower, but then OPEC would just cut production back to maintain the prices.
So, beyond the U.S. making oil a state controlled entity, how will this diminish our dependence?
