LB .. RE: OCS for oil .. Why open up the hardest areas to develop ?? Here's the Dept. of Interior's best guess for on-shore domestic oil and gas resources that are currently in 'restricted' areas .. DOI's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recently published its Scientific Inventory of Onshore Federal Lands' Oil and Gas Resources and the Extent and Nature of Restrictions or Impediments to Their Development. The report concludes that onshore federal lands are "estimated to contain 187 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 21 billion barrels of oil, which represents 76 percent of onshore Federal oil and gas resources." That 187 trillion cubic feet of natural gas is enough to supply all of America's households for 39 years, and 21 billion barrels of oil represents over 30 years' worth of current imports from Saudi Arabia. It won't save us, but it would be a start .. Save the off-shore OCS stuff for later .. Triff ..
