Lots of Fiddling for the last 40 Years while the US Burns has been going on....
1) Environmental impact assessments, 2) Lawsuits, 3) Oil/gas lease auctions, 4) Lawsuits, 5) Modern three-dimensional seismic surveys, 6) Lawsuits, 7) Contracting/building new drilling rigs, 8) Lawsuits, 9) Political elections, 10) Naked PETA ladies marching on Washington, 11) Etc. |
