Man is it easy to see who has been drinking from the greenies bowl of elixir.
Yes Levin if they started drilling today it would take a few years for the oil to get into the actual production lines, just think if they had waited to start drilling in Prudhoe Bay in the 70's, what would the price of fuel be today?
The reason why they want to be able to drill their is because of how much easier it is to get that oil into production, ie: the oil isn't 46 miles deep because they have tapped out the easier resources getting to the 46 mile deep resources.
It costs a staggering amount of $$$ to drill offshore, the oil companies wouldn't wish to drill there if there were eaiser oil to be had.
I sure wish there was oil by my front mailbox, and all of my neighbors also. I would bet that most of my neighbors wouldn't complain too loudly about alowing the Exxons of the world to drill if they thought it would lower gas to under $2 a gallon again.
