Slider, thanks for posting the Lindsey Williams video. Much to think about and would not really question what he says. We have been hearing about the Alaska oil issue for some time with the blame put on environmental concerns for not drilling it. I my mind however, keeping that field out of the loop is a great strategic move for the US despite any short term pain at the pumps.

1. With so many fields in decline, better for the US to use up everybody else's oil first. Hope y'all get my drift.

2. Williams may be a bit too enthusiastic about its size. Remember how North Sea oil was going to keep England (and everybody else) going forever? I hear its about done. Similar for Russia, despite what Lindsey said in the video, unless of course, these are fabrications. So, again, I think this argues for sitting on it for awhile longer.

Bottom line: Conservation is a good idea.
