So much for getting back into geology.It's a great life if you don't weaken.
Seriously, there are areas still going fairly strong.

We need to watch very carefully how the great "unifier" treats red vs. blue states. Like Kentucky?

Was drilling underway at those 77 sites No. The leases were only sold in December. Permits and lots of paperwork still neeeds to be filed.

He cant cancel private leases. After a consensus vote of Nimby Fat Cat Actors in the Area (Redford) and big city environmentalists, the Chicago "Godfather" ordered Interior Secretary Salazar to invalidate the Bureau of Land Management's leases, under the rather ridiculous claim that it will pollute the air.
I've seen hundred's of oil wells. The oil isn't exposed to the air while pumping, and I'm confidant no one has a plan to build a sprawling refinery in the middle of the "arches". This is all about one more expensive abuse of power by our narcissistic, unstable, and power hungry "Present" leader that doesn't consider or care about the far reaching consequences of his actions

No a true socialist would not only allow drilling, he would expand it. A true socialist would make all industry produce weapons so we could liberate our neighbors. True socialists are slightly rational. What we have are idiot feel good bohemians who belong in an asylum running the place.

Let’s see now. His first phone call was not to any ally, not to the UN Secretary General, not to Putin... no, it was to Palestinian president Abbas. His first interview was not with CBC, NBC, ABC or CNN (and certainly not Fox), it was with Al Arabiya.
And here, once again, Obama is putting the Arab world first.
Change. Believe it.

I typicaly buy leases with a strawma. . . . landman, so you can never tell who is buying. Thanks for the info. I was always surprised how many little independents were bidding on leases in the NPRA. Now I understand better.

A conservative estimate of the oil reserves on these leases is 800 billion barrels of oil. Some of those reserves are in oil shale. These reserves represent 3 times the oil reserves of Saudi Arabia.
