We supplied our OWN oil back then. Mostly for Texas and Oklahoma (my home State). There's still plenty of oil in TX and OK. It's about ready to burst out of the ground.
Belive it or not, south central NY and north central PA are still loaded with oil. Though not as much as Texas, it's still a significant amount. Due to the same people screaming for an end to dependence on foreign oil, nobody's ALLOWED to drill ANYWHERE anymore. We can't build more refinaries either.
Well, I've lived a lot of places, and Tx and Ok are two of them. Traveled a lot!!!
Lived outside Ft. Hood in a little spot called Kempner.
My Dad was stationed an Army Base called Killeen Army Base. It isn't there anymore.
In the 11th grade I went to school in Spiro, Ok.
Both wonderful states! Wonderful people there.
Lots of oil. Black gold, Texas tea!
Lots of tumble weed and horney toads and sand spurs! OUCH!!!!
