Greg, it's the green lobby powering our non-drilling, and their views adopted by the Democratic leadership. If or once the Republicans get back in office, the Arabs will drop their prices so long as there are no wars to consider, to encourage our continued buying from them as an alternative to drilling. I don't think any knowledgable American, and I don't profess to be one when it comes to oil, doubts our reserves are enormous. My ex-Shell engineer BIL is pretty knowledgable on this, and this is what he tells me.
