Roll back plan opposed for energy independence risk
The Post calls the rollback plan a disastrously bad idea as it would halt new American oil production. A liberal study says $12.73 a barrel is needed to profitably produce new oil, while the rollback price would be $5 below that, forcing reliance on Arab supplies and higher world prices with limited control. The speaker pledges to push for oil production and energy independence.
