If you add this "newly discovered" oil field find, to the balklands oil field, and the gulf oil field discovery, we have by far the most oil and natural gas in the world. We already are the leader in coal. We just need to use our own natural resources. Refering back to T-boon pickins producing our own resources would stop the 2.5 trillion bleed of our money from this country to OPEC. The federal goverments take from full development of the Balklands oil fields is in the trillans as well. Add to it there cut on the new discovery's production. What a kick in the economy that would be. Add to that all the high paying jobs we would have to have to do the drilling and refining. The refineries would have to be built and the drills as well. Lots of good paying jobs. Especially if we use american steel to do it. The american steel companies would love that. Ought to be really good for their local econamies as well. Would it be great to see all thoes old steel towns coming back to life. We can do it.
