I am not being silent, you can see the rig count is up from last year and last week. shall I get a rig count for you from say 4 years ago so you can compare?

The problem is not lack of oil drilling, but the lack of refineries. The enviro-nuts have not allowed a new refinery to built in over 25 years.
