We may be right to prevent drilling in the locations within the US
territorial boundaries. Saving our own oil for our selves.


There is very little untapped oil that can be recovered efficiently in
the US. All the oilco's want to drill up ANWR, and maybe we will
someday.
I hear there's about a 90-day supply of oil up there.

We are one of the last generations of recreational power boaters,
recreational aviators, and private automobile travellers. Enjoy.

If we don't figure out a feasible alternative, our grandkids not only
won't be boaters, they will witness some bloody global conflicts over
the remaining puddles of crude oil, and the dawn of a new dark age.



We won't even be in that game.
