Cavuto had some oil company exec or expert on today who said that a good majority of those acres ARE being explored but do not have the promise already shown by ANWR, etc. He also showed a boatload of demmies using the phrase “68 MILLION ACRES!!!” like that explains why it’s okay for them to screw the average consumer by not allowing drilling in the most promising places.
Haven’t heard a Dem being right about anything if he is in office above local level. Not for many years anyway.
I just don’t understand where this 68 million acres of undrilled leases comes from.
I work for one of the biggest oil companies in America, and we don’t have anywhere near even a million acres of undrilled federal leases. It might be a couple hundred thousand acres, most of which was recently purchased with plans to drill.
Why has no one demanded to hear how they came up with this number?
