"Brilliant" How about a better plan. Let us become energy independent which would include our own drilling.

At least we could regulate the environmental impact instead of shifting it to other parts of the world. Just like a liberal we want it, but not in my back yard.

Right now the U.S. is the biggest importer of Venezuelan oil. We would have to sink billions of $ into searching for and drilling for oil. Venezuela is already pumping oil.

Roger,

Your point is? You are saying do it right now in Brazil. Why not do it here. We know, for the most part, where and how much oil we have we just have to let them drill.

Drill here now instead of shifting the to burdens and profits to other countries.

Why do you care if we get our oil from Chavez, I thought all liberals were fans of Chavez?
Most of your heroes seem to be in love with the man and Obama is using his play book.

U.S. HAS MASSIVE OIL RESERVES

There is an estimated 2 trillion barrels of oil buried beneath parts of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. Geologists, petroleum companies and the federal government have known about these massive deposits for nearly a century. The trouble has always been: how do you get at it?

It is believed that the shale deposits in the Green River region of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming are holding the equivalent of approximately 1.5 trillion to 1.8 trillion barrels of oil. Called �oil shale� or �shale oil,� according to scientists and petroleum companies, much of it cannot be recovered with current technology due to the costly processing involved and the depth of the deposits buried beneath the Rocky Mountains.

So instead you are good with sinking BILLIONS into another country that will then sell us oil rather than our own?

From your cited reference:

"Shell has reportedly been studying ways to extract oil shale on land in Colorado since the 1990s. The company said it hopes to have a full-blown operation by 2010.
Two others reportedly still in the running include Chevron and the Texas-based EGL Resources. Industry experts are optimistic that, with help from the government, new techniques can be developed to economically extract oil from the shale deposits and process it with relative ease."

(Issue #20, May 15, 2006)

HERE IS THE PROBLEM.

Government WILL NOT HELP...they would rather send the money else where....my arguement is and will be that these companies (I KNOW CHEVRON FOR SURE) is waiting for government to simply allow them to do it, they dont need the money they just need the OK.

THEY CANT GET IT....

Again what is your point? Does the US not have coast line as well as Alaska to drill in? Oh wait, the left does not want to see oil rigs from their summer homes. Just like the left does not want clean wind farms near their property either. The Dems need to come up with solutions not more government take over. Oil will soon be their next target for government take over. Oil extraction technology is progressing every year and we could soon be able to extract shale type of oil.
