TV: Advanced Oil Drilling Technology

http://energytomorrow.org This TV commercial explains why more U.S. oil production does not mean more oil wells. With advanced drilling, we can access more domestic oil from a single location, increasing our energy while decreasing our impact.

Advanced oil drilling technology is actually quite complex. To learn more about the science behind it, check out another one of our channel's videos: "The Science Behind Drilling for Oil and Energy Exploration.”

Um, isn't this kind of the same thing that got us in trouble in the gulf coast, only now it's going to be right under all of us? Fun.

Oh, so "decreasing our impact" is achieved simply by punching fewer holes in the earth's surface when we drill for oil? When I was a kid, I did the same thing; I would stick a straw through the skin of an orange and suck out the juice. I'd squeeze and squeeze until I got the last of it. Luckily, I had more than one orange.
