Offshore drilling accounts for 30% of our total contribution to the global production of oil (we only contribute 10% to the total global production of oil). Of the 1.5 million gallons of oil that offshore drilling produces a year, not all of it even stays within the United Sates. <br>2. We rent the drills used on offshore rigs from foreign oil companies. How is that reducing our dependence on foreign oil? Plus, there is no guarantee to the amount of oil that can be drilled offshore. It's a temporary, costly fix to a costly problem. <br>3. Your more onto something than he is. A better solution to this problem would be to reduce our oil consumption. Lame.
