It’s time to kill the PEAK OIL Myth. It’s dangerous to our future. Like Global Warming hoaxes it perpetuates the notion than men are smarter than God. Knowing what resources God has given us and where he’s put them is to quote the Obama” is above my pay grade” but I have faith that we can find all we need if we keep looking.
The largest gas field in the US, the Barnett Shale was drilled through for more than 50 years before some people figured out how to produce it. Ditto for the Haynesville and a number of Shale plays that are just now coming online.
We have the Bakken formation found in the 1950’s. We have most of Alaska, the outer continental shelf, the oceans, the Arctic, and a great deal of the western US that has not been explored properly.
For years the greenies have been talking about our unexplored oceans and that we know more about the moon than the deep sea floor. We really know very little about the subsurface of our good green earth. With new exploration tools, drilling technologies, and completion techniques I am confident we can find all we need if we can keep the government and the chicken little’s from getting in the way.
It’s not time to fear the future, buy in to wind hucksters and carbon credit sellers, it’s time to drill.
