What about all the upstream jobs created to fulfill the need for new drilling equipment, pipeline fittings, well heads, storage facility, refineries, etc.?
I would bet the steel industry alone would create 10,000 new jobs if there were a concerted national effort to increase oil production by 3 million bpd, like drilling simultaneously in ANWR, California Coast and Colorado oil shale would generate.
Have to agree. The upstream and support jobs...from cafes to airports would go nuts with hiring. it’s a win/win for everyone. Even state and local guvs would get to waste all the windfall tax revenues collected! LOL
hey add nuke power plants and this country would go full steam ahead!
