Interesting article, but I doubt the enviro-weenies will like it.

I live on Texas Gulf Coast and have NO problem with drilling rigs = they have never bothered me. Most of the oil on the sandy beaches here is from natural seepage. I would rather see drilling rigs, than do without cars, air conditioning, indoor plumbing, jobs, medicines, food. So many products come from petro chems. Plastics, foam rubbers, medicines, etc. Imagine a world without computers and cell phones, which are made of a lot of plastic! And for the PETA crowd, if you don't want your shoes made of leather, the alternative is plastics!

". Temporary prices spikes by OPEC have not proved sustainable because they brought forth new supplies, encouraged substitution of oil with coal or gas, and stimulated conservation by consumers and businesses. Da*m!
There you go again ... Proving that the free market works.
I'll just sit back and wait until this covered on Dan Rather's "excellent" news show tonight, and on the talk shows on Sunday morning.

Even without these new discoveries, there has been no oil shortage period. The oil companies have worked for decades, including massive funding of the enviro-wackos to take oil off the market to get the price up. This is simply more confirmation.
There are massive amounts of frozen Methane on the ocean's floors.
