Don't know about drilling restrictions, but I do know that they're busy going deeper and more abroad.
BTW, Dubai expects to RUN OUT in some 10 years. But they're clever and using their profit to launch business to take over when the oil is gone...

moray.. just to ease your mind. I drink a pot of coffee in the morning to get going.. I read this BB and post while doing it. It takes very little time to post and I skim most threads. I also post at lunch since I am fortunate enough to be home for lunch.

I don't watch TV. I don't read newspapers. How much of that do you do? besides reading and responding poorly here?

right now.. A friend and his girlfriend from vegas are sleeping in my spare room. When he get's up and around.. we will take my big block 69' el camino out for a test beating. there will be a new Henry rifle in the back and 500 or so rounds.

We will end up at my brothers place in the sticks and shoot guns most of the day. I will collect all the brass and reload it later.

I built my cars.. I built most of my guns.. I work for a living and I reload ammo and read a book a week at bedtime. I can work most tools and do. I have a lot of friends that I have had for decades and some I have met here.

I have a girlfriend tho who I see on weekends and we travel and.. whatever...

soooo.. this is not a dating post. I am not available.. don't even think about it.

I like my life. I will like it more when I retire young a little later... work get's in the way for the most part.

angus.. I will admit that we are depleting the easy to find stuff but that does not mean that we are out of oil. it just means that the really big discoveries have just not been found yet.

Most of the oil we are using today other than the middle east would not exist 100 years ago because it would be too hard to find or was not found.

An example of depletion is the American Bison, and the huge business based exclusively on exploitation in the 19th century.
Some 60 million + of stock went down to practically nothing, but luckily not all the way. A big business also went under.

Last I checked American Bison population is around 350000......and growing.
A little use of the old noggin and a new industry was born.
