That's really interesting. The entire land mass of the USA is, 2,428,213,120 acres. That's two billion four hundred and twentyeight million two hundred and thirteen thousand one hundred and twenty acres. Now a trillion is a thousand billion so you can see that these oil production companies must have the entire world under lease. LOL

Yes we should develop oil resources. "Proven Reserves" is a crock since it does not include what hasn't been discovered yet. Oil holds a near-monopoly (94%) of the market for transportation fuel. Natural gas is cheap and plentiful but the cost of converting a vehicle is high. Nor are electric vehicles likely to make much of a dent for many years. If there is one thing we need more desperately than oil it is jobs. North Dakota has shown us that oil exploration and development creates employment. So let's drill.

Simply because there's no oil there.

Typical lib/progressive thinking....drill where there's no oil, continue policies that don't work, keep pouring money into broken systems.

And people wonder why liberalism is a mental disorder.

I am a liberal and I do not consider my proposal to free our economy from the international petroleum pushers to be irrational. Expensive, yes. Irrational, no.
