"... But here’s what truly floored me: Shell decided Brutus’s location in the gulf would be profitable for drilling in April 1999. The company then built the massive oil platform, transported it to the right location in the gulf, anchored the floating leviathan onto the seafloor 3,000 feet below, drilled 17,000 feet below that, and began producing oil in July 2001. It took only two years to get Brutus online...

But due to restrictions on drilling, much of America’s coastline has never been fully explored, let alone with the latest technologies. Just a few months ago, an oil find was made off the coast of Brazil that might contain 33 billion barrels of oil. Now imagine what a similar find off the coast of America would do for oil prices..."

Always remember, if the Socialists say you can't do it, it's a sutre sign you can do it.

...that oil companies have an obscene amount of cash sitting in the bank to throw at prospecting and construction of new facilities...

Thhpt, what lunacy... it would be better to put a windfall profit tax on that dough and spend it on alternative energy credits and assistants to the poor for energy bills.......(by the way, for you knee jerks, I'm being sarcastic)

That sounds impressive. But here’s what truly floored me: Shell decided Brutus’s location in the gulf would be profitable for drilling in April 1999. The company then built the massive oil platform, transported it to the right location in the gulf, anchored the floating leviathan onto the seafloor 3,000 feet below, drilled 17,000 feet below that, and began producing oil in July 2001.

Why do I keep hearing this 10 year mantra? Is it because the people saying it are ignorant or just outright lying? No that couldn't possibly be the answer.
