Times change, though. Just as the cost of drilling for previously unprofitable oil becomes cost-effective when the price per barrel reaches a certain level, so to might the willingness of the country to attempt this kind of thing if the economy gets bad enough. Heck, we may/will get to a point where we have no choice.
