That's not entirely true. Like I have said before. There were many privately owned wells already producing that were shut down because of low demand which = low prices. Now that demand has increased they are firing those sites back up now. My point is there were and still are many sites that produce oil that are not being used. There are also millions of acres that the oil compaies leased yet never drilled.

So you tell me, what money making business would lease land they had no intention of drilling?

Bottom line is they just want more land to do with as they please so they can keep us locked into a broken system that is breaking the country.

I could care less about the forests and all that crap as long as I don't have to pay $4.00 a gallon. Sorry for all you tree-huggers on here but I would rather have money in my pocket than a couple acres of Alaskan wilderness.
