« on: April 28, 2010, 02:01:22 pm »RedKing:The US has it's own oil... some of it's not as easy to get to though. It would be plenty to support us while the prices go up and it's replaced with alternatives. It may even be good for us, IMHO.
Part 1, additional E:
Or cut off the 'Mighty and Glorious' US from it's oil reserves around the world. That wouldn't be so difficult. Especially that those oil reserves are mainly not in US ground.
Yes, but big-publicity environmentalist groups like the Sierra Club flip whenever drilling is mentioned. I heard something on the radio a while back that Montana has more oil than all of Saudi Arabia. The thing is that the oil is on national reserves, so any drilling there would likely cause a nationwide tantrum spiral.
And that's a reason to screw with oil of other countries, srsly?
