A few years ago? This goes back to like, the early sixties. Even a decade ago, production was a half million bpd.

A few years ago, the only thing I read on that particular oil source, was that it wasn't profitable...maybe it was an old article I don't know..forget I mentioned your Canadian Sand.

Point is we are DECADES from a viable alternative to oil that will give us the same performance. Until then we need to do all we can to improve the situation with oil. And impoverishing people in order to force a change isn't the answer.

Plans for the military takeover of the Canadian oilfields had to be put on hold because of the hurricanes.

After that though, it'll be straight world domination, small countries first.

Once that's done, we'll be able to run Dr. Evil openly as the Republican Presidential candidate. No more hiding in the secret underground headquarters near the shark tank.

your light hearted jesting on the matter reeks of selfishness.

Ya think? The oil companies want 2 things right now. They want pollution controls reduced dramatically, and they want to drill in alaska. They are going to get what they want.
I look for New Orleans to be a possible sight for a major refinery city

Here in IL we will never have any thing to do with the high sulfur "Illinois Coal." There was supposed to be a coal plant built about 30 miles from here, but all the sissy tree higgers and that idiot obama rejected it. It would of put hundreds of jobs in this area, but the sissys didnt want it cause it is dirty.
