The truth about ANWR..

[ironglow]

Mean while the company I work for is building new state of the art Flex rigs. They are such fools don't they know there is not enough oil left to pay for these new rigs. It's bad enough that every rig this company owns is out there turning to the right making useless holes in the earth, now were going waste money on multi-million rigs. Maybe they will figure it out when there is no fuel left to run those big diesel engines and all those kellys quit turning.
So what kind of critter do you think I should get to pull my wagon? A big draft horse or one of them economy models like burro or made a goat yeah a goat don't want to waste no energy.

       Am I correct then in thinking the only thing standing between ourselves and energy independence, is "hate America first", dunderhead administration and their Kool-aid sipping supporters ?

Well I'm of the opinion that if there is oil on our turf, lets go get it!  If the oil companies want to invest in rigs and refineries, let them...  They're not idiots.  The only reason they want to drill is because they know there is oil out there.  Lets use it, don't care if it only last a year, use it...  The argument that their isn't enough oil to bother with is idiotic.  This ain't the early 1900's...  They don't run around the country hoping to find oil, they know where it is and have a pretty good idea of how much too.  I'm not at all worried about running out of oil in my lifetime, but I am worried about funding the Middle East whacko's.  So I would just prefer our "big oil" make the money...
