When will America wake up and relaize that there is plenty of oil, It just needs to be drilled and refined. The scarcity of oil is a myth.

There sure seems to be plenty of oil. What we need are refineries.

AND ... enough oil drilling/refining politicians to tell the anti's to pound sand.

There's plenty of oil in the USA but the dipsticks are in DC

NO...it is more than that...one of the biggest group of retiring industries is the oil and gas personnel. The experience that existed 20 years and longer ago is retiring and the “X & Y” generation” of wuzzies who don’t want to get sweaty and dirty aren’t filling the shoes.

There is a HUGE career opportunity in O&G but it has been demonized and made to look unstable so people shun it as a career path.

I can tell you that we have “rig hands” at my place of employment...many who are high school drop outs and with a bit of a prison record...making at the ripe age of 22 & 23 yrs of age over 150,000.00 EASY!

EASY easy easy money....BUT it involves hard and dangerous work.

Exactly! How many new refineries have been built in the last 30 years? NONE.
And forget about drilling. We might inconvenience a polar bear or two.

Same with diamonds but the price never comes down?
Sad, but I think it's going to take some "angry mobs" in the street to influence our leaderships thinking?
