I find it interesting that many people feel we should open up more land and water to oil companys so we can lower the oil price. This would be a great idea if the scarcity of oil was to blame. It seems that the real deal is the oil companies already hold millions of acres untaped leases. So why would they need anymore? I believe that the answer is, they want it all tied up in legal leases and then they can raise the price even more. We should not let these thieves hold any more leases, They want to hold ALL the cards. We must not give them anymore. They will rob us of our natural resources.
