Meanwhile the United States is literally floating on oil and natural gas — Bakken Field, ANWR, North Slope, oil shale at the four corners (Colorado, Montana, Utah, Idaho), oil off California, in the Gulf of Mexico, off Florida and the Carolinas. We have some of the largest coal reserves in the world plus oil synthesized from biomass.

Yet, we convert food crops to alcohol at a time where there are food shortages, we don't build nuclear power plants, we prevent oil and gas exploration and drilling, and we haven't built a new oil refinery since 1975-1976.

WTH is wrong with America's common sense? If we developed our resources, we could be the NEW Saudi Arabia. The Arabs would be pounding sand. And, the Environazis would be absolutely suicidal [this is a good thing].

If we get US$4/gallon gas this summer, Obama is FINISHED as President--he will suffer the same fate as James Earl Carter.

Watch for the largest expansion in oil exploration in the USA in 40+ years when Obama is replaced by a new President that will emphasize increased domestic production, all done in the name of "national security."

The Bakken field is being drilled and produced. It has been for several years. North Dakota is already the 4th top oil producing state and will soon be 3rd.
