Re: oil drilling....Actually, most people never think about how oil is drilled, and how much it costs to do the drilling, and then getting the oil into a ship, and then to refineries, etc. Can you imagine making a piece of equipment that goes through water for 4+ MILES, and then is strong enough to dig another MILE+++ into the ocean floor??? No pun, but it is hard to fathom!

Chevron well, called Jack 2, which is 175 miles off the Louisiana coast, is more than five miles deep, including more than a mile of ocean depth.
