Boy, do you have a problem.
Most of it due to ignorance.
For instance, you apparently have no idea why we are drilling in remore areas and in deep wells under one mile of water and 3 miles of rock.
We are drilling in places like that because people like you with no understanding of how the world really works have made it impossible to drill in places where the oil is easier to get to.
Like Alaska, the coastal waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific, just to name a few.
We reached our levels of comfortable living when we developed in tandem the many uses for oil and the gasoline engine.
Before that, we heated with wood cut with a cross cut saw. You should try it sometime.
We hitched a horse to a buggy and took all day to travel 25 miles. Did you ever stop to wonder why east of the Mississippi, towns are invariably 25 or so miles apart?
Because that is all a horse or a team could make in a day.
If you want to live with windmills, I would suggest you go to Lancaster County, PA and study how the Amish live.
That is how we lived before the discovery of oil and the development of mechanized transportation.
Oil is eeven more involved in our every day lives but spending more than a few minutes on your education is a waste of time on my part.
I would advise you though, that you could afford to spend a lot more time on it than you obviously have.
Like Alaska, the coastal waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific, just to name a few.
Well if that oil was off limits before the BP spill,
there's not a snowball's chance of drilling it AFTER the spill.
It doesn't matter whether it's actually there or not.
BP screwed the pooch.
That oil is going to remain off limits for at least another generation, maybe two or three.
I probably won't even be alive another 20~25 years from now, so there's no sense wasting my time ranting about oil that they won't let us drill in my lifetime anyway.
