Description (excerpt):
With gas prices fluctuating in recent years, Americans may feel uneasy at the pump. While some advocate drilling as a solution, there are better ways to provide stability for consumers. Newly updated NRDC analysis shows that the oil savings from clean energy measures can far outpace the potential oil production of drilling in America’s protected areas. The real solution to volatile gas prices and oil dependency is a strategy that relies on energy efficiency, clean fuels, and transportation choices such as commuter rail—not drilling.
