300 million acres in the middle of no-where. Frozen desolate tundra ten months out of the year. No sun for thirty consecutive days. Humans never see, visit or even think about this expansive area. Think about this, it would only be a 3000 acre footprint on 300 MILLION acres.

100 years worth of crude oil known to be sitting 2 miles below four northwest states.

Expansive oil fields knnow to exist 200 miles off the Florida coast in the gulf of mexico.

The oil is there in vast amounts. Amounts that would give us complete self reliance and create jobs for thousands. Yea, I am mad about the price of gas. Especially because there is no decent reason for not supplying ourselves with our own oil. One side is beholden to special interests and the other side is just a bunch of scared Tulips.

Don't forget about higher food prices now that we burn our valuable corn in engines and can't produce enough.

Yea, I am mad when I have to fill up my tank.

P.S. We only get 10% of our oil from the middle east.
