This is largely a rehash of yesterday’s news about NPRA.
Look people. Stop with this kneejerk stuff about oil. Repeat this to yourself, because it is true —
MOST PLACES DO NOT HAVE OIL.
Simply that. Let it inform all your thinking about drilling.
There has been 1 exploratory well drilled in ANWR. Chevron did it. The results are kept secret, but Chevron knows the secret. In 2017 drilling in ANWR was approved. CHEVRON DID NOT LEAP TO START DRILLING. Think about that. Odds are high, very high, there is nothing there.
Alaska will always hype themselves and light fires of anger under anyone who would stop drilling.
Here’s another secret about oil. There are a zillion little companies out there who get paid to drill. Doesn’t matter what they find. They get paid to drill. They want drilling to happen and want no obstructions to it, and they don’t care what they find. You will never hear them talk about damage done while they drill because all they will talk about is the potential of what they find.
Chevron had 3 years to drill. They know more about what might be there than anyone else. They didn’t drill.
