You are just refusing to ponder the question I proposed. IF the U.S. has a giant untapped oil reserve that is bigger than the amount of oil that OPEC can stop producing...then two things would happen:
1. OPEC (crazy muslim fucks who hate our guts) would lose their income and be forced back into the game.
2. The world oil supply would increase.
You're still working off of outdated assumptions that have OPEC as the big player.
IF what the oil companies are reporting is true...OPEC would be marginalized.
Yes, if it was 10 years ago...we would be at the mercy of OPEC. But these new discoveries are suggesting that might not be the case.
I'm just looking at it with an open mind. There's only ONE WAY TO FIND OUT. And that is to start getting that oil out.
Everything else is just people like me wondering if we could...and people like you in denial that it's even possible.
