I received an Email from some conservation group this morning. At first it read like they were opposing drilling in Alaska again. I have written several articles denouncing the Alaska proposition. For those of you new to the argument, Alaskan Oil is Heavy Crude. Very expensive to refine. Mainly sold to Japan and Korea to use in their heavy industry to the tune of 80% that is pumped.
The new site, which will take 10 years to develop, only contains a sufficient amount of oil for 1 year.
That isn’t worth all the fight the Republicans are throwing at it. They just can’t stand the word NO, when it happens to be their idea.
So, at any rate, I read on in the note, and it turns out the Conservation Group is opposing Off Shore Drilling. From what I have read, over the years, there have been very few spills and only a handfull of accidents, over the years…..as opposed to the Exxon Valdez disaster and pipeline leaks in Alaska. Off Shore is truly the way to go, while we wait, and wait, and wait for the Government to get off their ass’s and demand synthetic fuels. They can’t be that hard to build, as Germany was still making syn fuel on the last days of the war, and we has already bombed the plants flat several times.
Oh, did I forget to mention that we have had, in our hands those formulas since 1945!
