[QUOTE="brazenbrown, post: 378695, member: 9007"] You're absoultely right!!:happy2: Imagine that others can drill off our coasts but we can't..Now that's bass ackwards for ya!!:happy-very: How about a revision? The Bakken Formation in the western Dakotas and eastern Montana has been re-evaluated by USGS, taking it from a very minor producer to containing upwards of [B]413 billion barrels[/B]; however there are some production problems with this formation. By comparison, [URL="http://www.washingtontimes.com/themes/?Theme=Saudi+Arabia"][COLOR=#ff9900]Saudi Arabia[/COLOR][/URL] currently is estimated to have reserves of 269 billion barrels. Time and money are being wasted by our lack of progress in solving the oil crisis. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (Texas) has recently proposed a realistic solution to these problems — the Domestic Energy Production Act of 2008. Her bill will allow development of more than a billion barrels of oil and extensive gas reserves, in the trillions of cubic feet. Senator Hutchinson's bill would also expedite the process for building new refineries and clean, safe nuclear power plants, as well as funding the development of alternative fuels. None of this will happen, with the consequent reduction in energy costs, [B][U]unless Congress gets off dead center and acts.[/U][/B] I hope Senator McCain takes this information to heart and leads us out of this morass.

Obviously drilling isn't the only answer but it's a start to get us off of the middle east oil and any reduction there in my mind is a good thing!!:peaceful: [/QUOTE]
