This vid must have been recorded at museum at Houston, I was there last week...the drill demostration at the left is a dead giveaway, really interesting vids they have in there =)

Yeah, I did mention that in the description...

I thought the videos were pretty cool too. They should have an online version of the videos on the museum website, so they can extend the knowledge further.

We need to drill for our own oil and fast!!!!! Lets all send a letter to our congressman and tell them to start drilling in our country so we can depend less on the arabians

What a moron you are. Oil is a naturaly occuring substance that seeps into the ocean floor naturally.

OSE II the non toxic oil spill clean up that can prevent natural resource damage even in spills like the Exxon Valdez, and the BP Gulf spill. OSE II when permitted in the drilling response plans, would give the public confidence drilling could occur and natural resources protected at the same time.

@3va4b9j7 You can do that but still the cost of getting the oil out of the state is much more expensive than importing it from Saudi Arabia and other countries. The US are holding to their oil on a hope that they either find an alterntaive source of energy or in the event that the arabia oil start to deplete and then the price for them will be profitable.

NOTE: The USA does not import oil from Arabia....China and other asian countries are the only and major importer of oil.

@Ohjjin WRONG-Wrong as two boys lovin, the Earth is chock full of abiotic oil-created by break down of carbon14-most abundant element in world-OIL prices and oil Scarcity is used by Global Elites to control us-THEY have a Plot since 1960 to take over the World,our government is only PAID PUPPETS(Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obam­a) Elites want all the World-and YOU DEAD!

[exposetruthwolf]

Sarah Palin says there is a Trillion Barrels oil in Prudoe Bay being withheld from us, I have a friend working for Exxon, he says there is hundreds of oil wells not being tapped. Oil scarcity is use to drain America's wealth and keep us in Debt to the Federal Reserve-Wall st Robber Barons so they can pull 9-11's and eliminate our Constitutional Rights. Jessie Ventura said"Anytime govern Puppets talk about protecting us-it's code for removing our FREEDOMS." Elites want the WORLD-AND YOU DEAD!

I don't think our dependence on foreign oil is a problem. When the world's oil begins to run out, since we're sucking up everyone else's we'll be sitting high on one big ass reserve.

Slow down, hero. Subject, verb and predicate. its hard to tell with all your ranting and raving exactly what you are trying to say except I THINK you are some sort of knee jerk environmentalist trying to say? I dunno. Try succinctly stating what you are objecting to, first. Then, how about some rational SOLUTIONS? Do you have any of those? Common.. its easy.. take a deep breath.... grab that Kleenex box and give it a try.. you can do it!
