WASHINGTON (AP) -- The nation's anger over $4 gasoline is producing a lot of energy-related theatrics at the White House and in Congress. Republicans are demanding new drilling off the nation's beaches. Democrats want to tax away oil companies' profits.
Opening more offshore waters to oil development ''would be of little or no help at all in the short term,'' says Robert Ebel, an energy expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. ''In the long run it would depend on how much you find offshore.''
