the U.S. Minerals Management Service estimates that 86 billion barrels of oil and 420 trillion cubic feet of natural gas can be found along the U.S. outer continental shelf, the area affected by the ban.

Why do the democrats vote down drilling. We have so much oil to drill for here, but for some reason we are not allowed to do it. That is the only way we are going to lower gas prices and not have to depend on the Middle East for our energy. The economy would be so much better if those retards in congress would let us drill. Gas prices are definitely one thing people can't blame George Bush for because he actually wants to drill.
