This injects a level of creativity of logic that so far has escaped me - and thus makes your efforts less credible.....like read seriously diminishes the credibility you have to an approx. negative point. 2. Why drilling everywhere we can, does not make environmental sense. Given the USA drilling standards versus the countries we are asking to increase production ( Nigeria, Sudan VZ, Mexico , Russia anyone in the middle east, please explain how producing in the USA does not significantly advance the environmental cause. When are you guys going to internalize that you are defending the indefensible and begin to get serious? I respect you and don’t want to rain on the parade but please explain:
