That's not from one well...it's from the entire Elm Coulee oil field. There are a bunch of wells out there. He has been drilling new ones all over the place out there.

I also think that finding other energy sources and producing more efficient modes of transport are part of the equation BUT oil is here to stay for some time and we need to have a more reliable source.

I think the oil bubble is going to burst pretty soon though!

I AGREE!....

True but you have to realize that at the time the french had an alterior motive, you see thay hated Britan more than anyone else at the time. Kinda like that old saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend and by helping us win our independance it would hopefully deal Britan a devestating blow. And thay figured that after we won our independance we would be to ignorent to establish any kind of functional government Happy to say thay were WRONG!.

You sell us your oil and we will sell you ours, seems kinda pointless if you ask me. But that is whats going on.
