Domestic Sources of Oil and Natural Gas Will Be Important Bridge to Energy Future

At a time when we need all the energy we can find, increasing access to domestic sources of oil and natural gas would enhance our energy security. Here in the United States we have enough oil and natural gas resources to power 65 million cars for 60 years and heat 60 million households for 160 years.  There could be much more oil and natural gas than previously known in areas where industry has been unable to fully explore, and new technologies allow us to access resources previously thought unreachable.
