Something has too be done too get the price within reason now. Unless I read the article wrong, the oil companies have 68 million acres leased now how come they haven’t started too drill on that area set-aside for them?

I don't think there is a quick fix...we might have to settle for the long term fix.... The oil companies would prefer to drill where they can get the most oil in the least time at the least expense.... Same criteria all successful companies operate with...Efficiency and return on investment....

As for the cow leaving the barn, you're absolutely correct Richard....and we all stood around and watched the cow walk away, and now we're paying for it.... Bush Sr. is the one who extended the drilling moratorium to 2012 btw....
