The disadvantages: domestic oil, if located, would not be ready to use for about ten years; oil consumption needs to be minimized, not expanded--Californians didn't take alternatives to the automobile seriously until the price of gas sky- rocketed, and that's a good thing because driving needs to be reduced; drilling locations so far include offshore in the Gulf, California and presumably any coastal area in the U.S. where oil is surmised to be, the Arctic Wilderness--and there are major obstacles with poor solutions. The advantages are the potential future ability of the U.S to supply its own oil if it reduces consumption to a sustainable level and the fact that the extraction of oil adds hundreds of thousands of dollars to state economies.
