Look! No company would have drilled with oil at $20 a barrel the reservoirs that require the new generation of drilling techniques. Nada, Zip, Zilch!

You are emotional.

Well, we all can see where your priorities are...
what's a few dead Marines, the price of crude is all that matters to you...

“emotional?”

yea, if you had seen as many dead Marines as I have,
you might be a little concerned yourself!

Now, run along and go bother someone else with your BS!

Not all of this area that would be opened is deep water requiring special techniques. This would include lots of area that is reachable with jack-ups.

” No company would have drilled with oil at $20 a barrel?”

and before I leave you to your ignorance...
in the 70’s we were only importing 20% of our oil;
so, genius, somebody in America must have been drilling that other 80% for less than $20 a barrel!

Class Dismissed!
