SBlouch Champion Author San Antonio Posts:6,896 Points:1,472,830 Joined:Apr 2007	Message Posted: Mar 19, 2010 7:54:27 PM Ignore SBlouch Report Abuse So there has been a "significant" oil discovery in the eastern Gulf of Mexico by Canada. I would rather have our neighbors up North to us find it than the Russians. The Obama administration isn't concerned with searching for new sources of oil as he wants to pass his Health Care Reform and other green energy reforms.

pliskin Champion Author Syracuse Posts:4,370 Points:1,349,085 Joined:Apr 2005	Message Posted: Mar 19, 2010 5:25:38 PM Ignore pliskin Report Abuse I can't imagine this will change anything. The next paragraph is a little off this subject but to same end which is little will come from any of this for any of us when it is all said and done. Pres. Obama gave Brazil's Petrobras $2 billion + to develop their off shore drilling last year and now they can't handle that, either. Of course his friend, and his main contributor, George Soros is the main owner of the company. By the way Petrobras just happens to be the world's eighth biggest global oil company.

It will take years to begin pumping and the price will have to be at least what it is now per barrel to make the effort worth while. Bring on a GOOD alternative to fossil fuels.
