It is a nice thought but the EPA restrictions & permitting process still apply.

If they want to wave restrictions and permitting, that can be done for any piece of property.

When the bubble bursts, and your 401K is valued at 25% of its original value, please don't whine and ask for a gubbmint handout.

I'll take that as a mere rhetorical flourish, rather than as a serious piece of advice.

I don't really believe oil is overvalued just now, given the dicey circumstances that exist throughout the world--in the Middle East, Venezuela, and Nigeria, especially. True, what goes up must eventually come down--it is an axiom that is just as applicable to stocks as to anything else--but I believe we will eventually think of $120-per-barrel oil as the good old days.

By the way, it is a small point; but your reference to my "401K" misses the mark. As I indicated in my earlier post, I no longer have such a financial instrument; it was rolled over into an IRA (the traditional variety) about 16 months ago.

"If we opened access to gas in this country, we wouldn't need oil in five years,"

Is he talking about natural gas? or what?
And do you agree with that assessment?
Thanks,
Kelly

Judging from the context back a couple paragraphs, I believe he is talking about natural gas.

And no, he has no clue what he is talking about using such a time frame or such a drastic change without discussing the hundreds (thousands?) of billions of dollars required to make such a change in infrastructure.
