OiL Drilling Myths

Can't drill our way out of this one

Increased domestic drilling will not lower the price of gas for American consumers.

So why are our elected officials buying it?

Under pressure to help consumers, many of our members of Congress are wrongly giving in to the oil and gas industry's multi-million dollar lobbying campaign to open protected lands and waters to drilling. Will you help us stop the myths by telling your members of Congress to stand firm against voting for an energy policy based on panic?

The truth is that any increase in oil production from new drilling would be a tiny portion of world oil production. Our price at the pump wouldn't change - but oil companies would profit at the expense of our most precious wild places.

Did you know that 80 percent of our coastline is already open to oil exploration and drilling? Now, the energy industry has its sights set on places like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska and Utah's Red Rocks Wilderness. But opening what little land we have left to more drilling won't lower gas prices - it will only put our cherished lands at risk.

The American people are too smart to believe these drilling myths. It's absolutely crucial that we speak up now! Let your senators and representatives know that you can't be fooled, and that you want meaningful, long-term energy solutions. Send a message Here.
