To drill or not to drill, that is the question. But is it? Offshore oil reserves, once online -- a feat that would come long after the new president's first term -- will garner less than three years of supply. Drilling in Alaska's National Wildlife Refuge will surface even less. When the U.S. supplies 3 percent of the world's oil reserves but demands 25 percent, short-term fixes will invariably make for insufficient long-lasting solutions.
