You really have a screwed up sense of logic.... No oil field on this planet can supply 22 million barrels of oil per day.. 1 - If I had made the mistake of saying an oil field could produce that much it would be an error of fact not of logic. 2 - More importantly I didn't say any such thing. Your attacking a straw man, rather than any of my real arguments. you and yours want to drill drill drill right now so the US can have oil independence by Christmas. Another straw man. My point to you was that if you really don't care where you drill and don't care about the nations reserves, then tap the SPR. Who said I don't care about having reserves? A third straw man in the same post. Maybe its not intentional, but you keep reading things in to my posts that just aren't there, and than you argue against what you read in to them. The SPR, with oil available at almost a moments notice, functions well as a reserve. Oil in deep water or in ANWR, with no drilling or exploration allowed, and with 2 to 15 years needed to get the first drop (depending on the exact location your talking about, and also what happens with political and legal barriers and challenges) doesn't amount to a useful reserve.
