Ted,

re: If it would cost half to drill offshore than what OPEC charges for oil, there would be a great deal of exploration and drilling happening in known offshore oil fields. In fact, there has been little increase in offshore drilling inspite of the huge spike in oil prices this past year.

That kind of common sense logic is lost on these guys.

The day of (oil) reckoning is coming; the only debate is when, not if. With 4% of the world's population and 25% of the world's oil consumption, we will be at a huge competitive disadvantage when oil become precious. We need to start getting off the oil teat NOW, and that will take real leadership and courage in a country that doesn't like the very idea of conservation, and that thinks SUV's are a constitutional right.

The "oil wars" have already started.
