I’d feel better about this if something other than Newsmax carried it

Why? It's true. We have tha same thing happening here in western North Dakota. Major activity happening, drilling rigs, gas and oil pipelines being built. This is huge!

“a HUGE oil field promises 503 barrels of sweet crude”

Not anything to write home about.

OK, I know it’s a typo!

“Teddy Roosevelt NP.”

That bothers me a bit. The enviros will shriek and howl.

Makes me hope there’s an oil jackpot discovered one day in the center of Yosemite Valley.

If that's what it takes to turn Ted Turner into a millionaire from a billionaire...DRILL BABY DRILL!!!

I doubt that Ted Turner owns the mineral rights to the land he bought. Most land sellers in the last 40 years have retained the rights to minerals, at least a portion of them.

Quick . . .let’s elect the RATS to office so they can make it a national monument and off-limits to drilling.

It’s bad news for environmentalists, who loathe oil and have way too much influence in Washington.

That breakthrough in battery design has been predicted every year since 1900.

Ideally, about 10-15 miles off the Florida coast.

Where we can't pump it? Better to find it in Texas...:)

Anybody want to bet when the Feds try to issue permits allowing drilling at Bakken the Environazis will sue saying since the Polar Bears are now covered by the ESA due to global warming drilling permits must pass muster with the Fish & Wildlife Dept.

Go hang around the court houses in the counties there...you will see land men research mineral rights for the majors. Ask them.

If you get up on a good promontory in the Teddy, you can see oil derricks and wellheads all around. Not to worry. We North Dakotans love our oil!

A geologist buddy of mine, who’s from Iowa, said that he was sure there were large gold deposits in SE Iowa — 2 miles down— because of that mountain range.

Don't worry. The Democrats in both Houses will find a way to close those fields. Just like ANWR.

No, the enviro-whackies who are funded by the Arabs will stop it.
