Of course we aren't drilling enough...production declined because of economics and politics...not lack of oil. --------------------------------------------------- Much of America's remaining large deposits of oil and natural gas lie offshore. Unfortunately, other than portions of the Gulf of Mexico, coastal areas are off-limits to new oil and gas exploration and production due to various federal moratoria The Interior Department's Minerals Management Service (MMS) has estimated that the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) contains: More than 85 billion barrels of oil, quadruple current U.S. reserves. More than 419 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. ncpa.org
