America cant drill its way out of a situation where alternative forms

American companies are not using all of the leases they currently
hold.
Having them sit on more leases where they don't drill won't help
either.

And as soon as the envirterrorists quit taking them to court on specious
arguments they will explore them.

You really believe that is why the oil companies don't drill in places
like the outer shelf?

and why do you think they aren't drilling there or other places? Why do
you think it would benefit them to have leases that they don't develop?

There are leases the oil companies have that are estimated to hold up
to 30,000,000,000 barrels of oil in the gulf. In places they have
leases with appoved drilling plans. There in nothing that prevents
them from drilling in those leases.

These *enviroterrorists* must be some scary mothers if they can stop
oil companies from exploiting the approved areas of drilling.

That or they just want to keep something in the bank rather than
pumping everything out now.

I know silly things like logic and good business practice shooting
holes in such lovely and quite bizarre conspiracies.

Oh and then there are the *foregone royalties* that the US Government
pays the oil companies not to drill.

Oh and a deep water drill rig: $700,000,000

Oh and manpower: None, they are currently employed drilling in the
shallower gulf waters.

Yeah, it is all abput the *ecoterrorists*.
