So we know that oil is a finite resource and your solution is "lets drill on environmentally protected lands". We are going to have to find a more sustainable and renewable source of energy anyway, might as well get started now.
So here's the recap: Drill on protected land, screw the environment. Or, find a cleaner energy solution, and start getting the infrastructure in place now.
I like the latter idea.
