Does anyone have a realistic estimate of how much it will cost and
how long it
will take to develop Russian oil to the point where it undercuts
crude from the
Middle East in total production cost? (drilling, pumping,
infrastructure,
transportation, refining)?
So, rather than spend the bucks and get it done, we continue to
hang our hats on the Arab's bedposts until all of THAT oil is gone,
THEN go looking?
Not at all! If nothing else, economic development of that area will
help stabilize their political situation.
But we must dispel ourselves of the idea that there's a quick, cheap
and easy fix.
I don't think any way is cheap or easy, Jim. It's jsut a matter
of idealogy...I'd rather my money went to Russians than to people who
think it's OK to treat women like property and use children as "human
shields".

Damn. I'd rather a majority of "our money" (it's really the government's)
go right here...in the United States...to rebuild and repair our
infrastructure, to all education levels, to assist in the social and civil
disasters that are taking place right here within the boundaries of our 50
states. : |
