a bit off the mark (none / 0)
Actually every drop that we produce here WILL reduce our dependence on foreign oil.  read my post again. 

The problem of course is that the amount of oil in the restricted areas is small relative to demand so it will only SLIGHTY reduce our dependence on foreign oil and won't come anywhere close to ELIMINATING our dependence as some have tried to imply.

Let me put my point in another way (none / 0)
Saying that off-shore drilling will reduce our dependence on foreign oil is like saying that the crumbs underneath our kitchen counters will reduce our dependence on imported food (we import a lot of food).
