OK, so I guess we don’t try at all. There is *no* oil around the continental and even extra-continental US that we can conceivably go after, even though we haven’t looked for it for 30 years in some places...I am not buying that porposition. I think there are waaay more than 3-4 billion barrels in Bakken, and even the Chinese realize that there is oil in the Caribbean, yet we choose not to pursue it, regardless of how ‘pretty the rigs are at night’...;-))
Are you somehow interpreting my comments as meaning I am against drilling for oil?
I’m going to have to talk with my “oil fracker”. He seems to know all the wells, cracks in shale, natural gas flames and all that stuff. They should be up here in the next few days and “if” I can get a word in edgewise, I’ll ask him for more information. He’s been in oil since Christ was a child and knows a whole lot about it. Too much for my pea brain to fathom, but what I can glean from his “discussions” we have one heck of a lot of oil and natural gas in this country.
I can’t ask at this very moment, cause he and Roomey are all enthauled with Sarah. My cousins buddy.
Bit, our congress critters don’t want to pursue oil in the Caribbean because it MAY DESTROY THE PRISTINE VISION from Cuba to St George to Florida. Only the chinese can pursue the oil because .....you add the reason, i’ve had a martini.
