hmmm ...there are enough people who think otherwise, so much so that they will gladly invest in drilling if allowed.

I just can't buy the argument that "the amount isn't large enough."

The bottom line is, if it is found here, it is that many more dollars NOT going to the ME.

As a side note: people up here (PNW) quite willingly pay more for BioDiesel (than petro-d) simply because it's a local product. (as their bumper-stickers read: "BioDiesel - no war required" )
