the lucudity of that retort was breathtaking on so many levels that I'm gonna assume you are just bored and wanted to play devils advocate............cause as one egret said to another.....that cow patty has so much goodie in it I don't know where to start! Only oil companies benefits from yada yada.......... really?! No bennies to share holders (like you stated that your portfolio went up lately), to gov'ts in greater taxes, to job creation in the whole industry, to the mutiplier effects in the many communities........yada,yada,yada?? And that just addresses the price issue............no bennie to the US from a Nat'l security stand point for increased availability Your "10 year " argument has lost it's juice cause if it held any water or logic then the Alaskan pipeline would never have been built, or for that matter the second oil well would never have been drilled after the fist one back in the 19th century. Let's face it.........assuming you were awake and serious.........you believe like your Dem friends, you don't want any new domestic sources developed, you would like to see the price go up dramatically and you do want more gov't controls and regulations, and you were probably for increased nuclear power developemnt until recently when the industry has made a strong push to redevelope that option. Lest you forget, the current Interior Sec said back in 2008 that"he was opposed to opening up off shore areas to new oil and gas drilling even if the price per gal hit $10"..............And the Energy Sec who wants to shut down our own (US) oil and gas supplies, called for gas to cost $8 per gal to push it up to European levels. Sorry, you may be a smart lady, but I'll take some of the opinions about our continuing need for more domestic develpment of oil and gas from industry veterans who say even if alternative fuels can be made economic and feasible we will continue to need new supplies well into the future.
