I still think we need to push for US-Russian joint oil exploration in Siberia and then bring the Japanese into the picture as consumers.
If we can ram up the Japanese economy and flush the funds back out through oil purchases by the Japanese, we all win.
We have more oil in and around the US than we can use in a generation. Access to it is blocked by internal enemies to the US; mainly the watermelons: green on the outside, red on the inside. All that is required to defeat them is the truth.
Night all. I retire from the field for the night.
