Just let them drill where they want and watch the oil companies drag their feet. I'm sure They have their eyes on a few hot spots but the idea that they are going to spend billions on new rigs to carpet bomb the new fields is ridiculous. I don't here oil companies (or Ken) complaining about their bottom lines.
Open the new fields tomorrow and 3 months from now when the American people didn't get their instant gratification and they find out that the oil companies are barely moving on these new opportunities the tone will change.
you won't find it.
What I do say is that there is plenty of oil out there (and other energy sources like your liquefied coal and shale oil that you never shut up about but don't explain why large privately owned companies are not utilizing them) but that it is getting more and more expensive to get to.
You can do what you usually do by quoting me out of context. Then I can link to the entire post or the top of the thread like I always do.
It is interesting how you did not argue with anything I said there but made an attempt to change the subject.
