Personally I think we need to bite the bullet, stop drilling, and quickly get on with alternatives. No more "mollycoddling" with oil. If our country had really been on the ball, we would have had alternative energy and transportation in place at least 20 years ago, when the technology was available...and we'd be on to even better options now. Instead, oil companies blocked all new research and development from happening. It's frustrating to know that the technologies exist -- and have existed for decades!! -- but have been blocked for the sake of profit. Very frustrating. Thanks Sara for this well-researched post.

However we have already shifted the pain of our national debt to our children, do we want to put this one on them too? Change is inevitable and necessary. We can do it and we can do it now by accepting responsibility for our actions. You are correct, it is going to be painful.
