Because Rachel Carson wrote a book full of lies called Silent Spring that said we can't defile US soil, water or air. JFK & the Liberals that read it believed the lies & have made it their constitution. Because of this book the EPA was created to keep US in line.
Why Cant America use its own Oil
Drilling here does nothing so long as we buy into the capitalist propaganda and system. It would change nothing. We'd still be looking at multinational corporations drilling for the oil and putting on the world market where we have to bid for it like everyone else. The 70's proved that these companies will slow production to create artificial shortages if they think it's boost their profit margin.
Why Cant America use its own Oil
Because we haven't nationalized/socialized the oil industry. Even if we let someone 'drill here', America doesn't get first dibs on the oil they pump out- it goes straight to the world market where we have to bid on it the same as all the other oil out there.
There are only two options if you want to 'drill here' and 'use our own oil':
1)socialize the oil industry
2)Put a ban/limit on exported goods and force corporations to sell oil at a capped price to American refiners/distributors before they're allowed to sell any of the oil on the open market.
In other words- you have to oppose capitalism and the free market in order to 'drill here, drill now and use our own oil'
Why does the OP hate capitalism?

Because allowing us to do so would impede the liberal obsession with moving America to an alternative energy dependence. This is an indicator of how the liberal/media/education cabal controls the discussions that regulate our very lives.
We could also slow the rate at which we burn the oil and use it to build windmills in the appropriate regions and solar panels int he Southwest. We can explore tidal and geothermal energies where feasible and devote resources away from corn ethonal and towards sugarcane/sugarbeet ethanol and alternatives to plastics.Because we haven't nationalized/socialized the oil industry.

Good points. Globalization insures that oil prices must rise dramatically as global living standards seek parity and global demand increases.
It makes no difference where the oil comes from.
BUT, our government could try actually making a profit on our oil leases by charging what the market will bear. As oil approaches $120/bbl there is a lot of revenue to be gained by managing our federal resources like profit centers instead of subsidy mills for our pet political contributors.
Political analyst J. D. Pendry said the barrel estimates from the Atlantic Shelf and the Bakken Fields show that the U.S. should be energy independent. He says the lagging development has no logical explanation.
"We have enough oil reserves in our country, much of which is on federal lands, to achieve energy independence. We have more than any other nation on the planet," Pendry claimed.
"Yet we choose instead to empower the Middle East and tyrants like (Venezuela's) Hugo Chavez rather than developing our own oil and energy sources," he said.
"When you factor in our coal reserves and the potential for coal-to-liquid fuel development, it is even more astounding that we purchase even one drop of fuel from other countries," said Pendry.
He believes the reason for the continued dependence is a lack of political will on the part of leaders. He believes there's some political maneuvering.
"It's only a smoke screen for the uninformed, which amazingly enough still works today. When cap-and-trade is forced on us, the president will state that he is pursuing drilling and claim the Republicans aren't supporting him in his efforts," Pendry said. "Our energy situation is mind-boggling."

Oil is a finite and non-sustainable resource.

None of this matters if the US continues to uphold the laws of globalization or market liberalization. Any oil we produce in the US must be sold on the open market for spot prices or as futures, it is a violation of the cardinal laws of market liberalization and globalization, as well as the WTO and IMF to do otherwise.
