If it’s not coming to the surface fast enough, then my original point remains valid... It’s not being produced fast enough. Drilling deeper is not without cost. These deep drilled wells cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
Personally, I am in favor of drilling deeper, but the idea that oil is just bubbling up all around us fast enough to feed our needs is contradicted by reality. If that were true, then we would not be talking about this problem.
Dont be deceived it is bubbling up around us but our government while pandering to environmentalist has put huge areas off limits for drilling.
Oil is bubbling to the surface off our coast as we speak.
