If I could shed a little light on this 68 million acres business: most Kansas farmers lease their ground to oil companies for possible exploration. Let’s say I have 2,000 acres leased. Let’s say I have two stripper wells and a natural gas well. These, including collection tanks and access roads, take up no more than 5 acres. If the oil companies drilled on every 100 square feet, they probably wouldn’t find any more production. But, according to the brain children on the Democrat side, the oil companies are refusing to drill on 2,995 acres. Democrat reality only works if you don’t know what they’re talking about.
Your number is off I think (1995 acres), but I get your point. LOL
