How come I never seem to hear about the “POTENTIAL” amounts of oil and natural gas hiding offshore of the United States?
We have about 2000 miles of north/south shore plus the gulf.
They don’t allow drilling or exploration offshore Sillyfornia, a state which could have a balanced budget if they factored in oil revenues, now forbidden. That’s their problem.
And whether or not the President likes it, we have among the very largest COAL reserves in the world, too.
If any country on the face of the earth SHOULD be totally energy independent it is this one.
Ooh, yeah. Dear Leader has furrowed his royal brow in disapproval and all the coal disappeared from the public consciousness. Praise Dear Leader.
