Energy Myth
Myth: According to President Barack Obama: "Oil companies are drilling a mile beneath the suface of the ocean -- because we're running out of places to drill on land and shallow water."
Fact: According to the Department of Energy, Nearly 85% of the nation's offshore resources are restricted by the government for exploration. Similar government restrictions are preventing onshore access in parts of Alaska and the Rocky Mountain States that could produce 1.125 million barrels of oil per day and an additional 2.4 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day.
