Yesterday there was a Rat congress critter on Cavuto who’s talking point was there are 800 gazillion acres of territory which can be leased and drilled. There is no need for ANWAR or the off shore areas. He did not state the name or the location. He just said over and over and over it was there.

The same point was made later on Brit’s show. It was the Rat defense of the day.

Question....where is this great reserve not being drilled?

Is it the Alaska National Petroleum Reserve? It exists and is very immense, perhaps 800 gazillion acres, why is there no drilling there now?

Bert, the Chinese and Cubans seem to know where it is even though the democraps don’t ... the Chicoms are drilling 60 miles off the Florida coast!

It is Area 181 and was opened to drilling in Dec 2006. The legislation was the Domenici-Landrieu Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act.

This act also provided for some of the royalties to go to TX, LA, MS, and AL.

Drilling on the first well began a few weeks ago.
