errr.... no. i am curently contracted out as a consultant to an oil drilling company. there are countless numbers of locations being drilling by any/all drilling companies. the EPA has not limited the amount of drilling done in the US as much as they have the amount of
refining allowed in the US. It's all about pollution credits...blah blah blah...off topic. There is more than enough oil in the US.
Fun Fact: A significant majority of all gasoline pumped into US automobiles is imported into the US as
gasoline NOT crude oil.
