Just recently, a very large amount of oil was discovered in the Gulf of Mexico, equal to about half of all oil currently thought to be available under U.S. soil and territories.
The technique used to tap this reserve sunk a drill in over a mile deep ocean and then drilled another 4 miles into the bedrock.
If some company can drill in an ocean a mile deep and bore in four more miles, then oil drillers can reach oil almost anywhere.
How much of the Atlantic and Pacific have been drilled?
There must be so much damn undrilled oil available to the world that there really was no oil shortage at all, only a fear of shortage.
What do you think? What about Iraq?
