At the low end, it would still be the second-largest oil field ever discovered in North America--the first being Prudhoe Bay." Before drilling began at Prudhoe Bay 30 years ago, reserves there were estimated at between 8 billion and 10 billion barrels, but the field now accounts for up to 25 percent of U.S. oil output. Prudhoe Bay "is rapidly approaching 13 billion barrels of oil and is still not dry," Sen. Murkowski noted. If the top end is good why not abandon the arabian peninsula in favor of US and Latin American Oil?

They have nowhere else to put the natural gas. and the clincher as believable as that tripe you call facts "All of our energy problems could have been solved in the '70s with the huge discovery of oil under Gull Island, Prudhoe Bay, Alaska," Williams said. "There is more pure grade oil there than in all of Sau di Arabia. Gull Island contains as much oil and natural gas as Americans could use in 200 years." Oddly though, immediately after this massive discovery, the federal government ordered the rigs to be capped and oil production shut down. done with the edification of chicken little thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] "Fifty-one percent of a nation can establish a totalitarian regime, suppress minorities and still remain democratic."

So fscking what? You can cut down consumption or foreign oil the same amount (more or less; I admit I don't have exact number here...and neither do you) by simply converting to fuel cell-based autos. Shit, even converting to a infinitely variable transmission in autos will perform a similar trick, as will traction motor cars/trucks. Alternatives, Bill, alternatives. Think, man. Its so much easier to think, dream, plan, experiment (gad, that implies R&D, the anathema of Repos), than to defile. But that's so damn...inconvenient! And it's bad for Bizniz (as it is currently practiced of course, but not for the visionaries who actually solve the problem. But, of course, those who actually solve the problem will not be the same people who created it, nor will they be the same people who beileve they will continue to profit from maintaining the status quo). jb4 "About the use of language: it is impossible to sharpen a pencil with a blunt axe.

Until those efforts to conserve are made we need the oil and we can go get it from under other countries or use our own. Obviously you prefer to deal with the saudis. Fine. We could be self sufficient in energy consumption by nuclear means as well as all the other suggestions but a lot of folk wont listen to that either. thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] "Fifty-one percent of a nation can establish a totalitarian regime, suppress minorities and still remain democratic."

It's also a red herring. I never stated that that was the choice. In fact, the alternative I stated would obviate the need to destroy either!
