The Rats blaming the Republicans is getting old with the American people and the American people know we will have to drill our way out of it. The American people also aren’t buying this 68 million acre crap because if that amount was true the oil companies would be working OT to get the oil out of the ground at $135 a barrel.
Where are they going to put it? Most people I know are buying as little as possible and looking for ways to use less.
Think about it, its $135/bbl now. Say the critters open up the land and say the oil companies work double time to get oil down to say $50/bbl, which to me would be self-destructive. At $50/bbl it may not be worthwhile to do much of anything, except import.
