It is only 23 miles from Badami, the next nearest oil platform on the slope, but for some reason they have sat on the lease for decades, not developing known reserves of valuable hydrocarbons. Could it be there is a windfall profit in sitting on these known deposits until the prices are unbearable? Oil companies wouldn't manipulate a monopoly market for profit, would they? Not after a@@fuxing the people of Alaska using the corrupt Supreme Court to eliminate their penalties for the oil spill that sterilized good chunks of Alaska's Prince William Sound?</p>philgravesThu, 03 Jul 2008 09:36:02 -0000http://www.washingtonindependent.com.php5-9.websitetestlink.com/705/national-support-for-energy-exploration-up#comment-1790510<p>I wish those people would read this: <a href="http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/aeo/otheranalysis/ongr.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/aeo/otheranalysis/ongr.html">http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf...</a><br>Even with drilling in those areas, it would still be over a decade before that oil ever hit the market. Not the quick fix some people would like you to believe it is.</p>ajm8127Thu, 03 Jul 2008 09:22:52 -0000
