Why do the oil companies insist on setting aside more areas for oil drilling when they already have 68 million

acres leased that is not being drilled?





Don't you think that they don't need any more offshore leases. They don't need ANWR. They need to use what they already have while the rest of us try to figure out how to use less oil. Why do the oil companies insist on setting aside more areas for oil drilling when they already have 68 million
Why not use the public's panic for oil prices and prejudices to make some extra cash.Why do the oil companies insist on setting aside more areas for oil drilling when they already have 68 million
For the last time it is public record so go look at the map and explanation for each and every lease that said company has.





If an oil company does not use the lease they lose it and any money invested. They are not going to waste money.





Oil companies paid 3 times more in taxes than they made in profits. Maybe we should be more angry at big government than big oil.
There should be no ';restrictions'; to drilling for oil. We are being stupid in letting other coultrys take OUR oil offshore. China is doing this right now right off our coast. They are ';slant'; drilling to tap into our reserves.Those measely few 68 million acres have little oil and we know there is plenty in ANWAR and off the coasts of FL and GA.
Oil companies didn't insist on anything. Republicans did. But they can open all the leases they want in Alaska, offshore, anywhere. The only way that produces oil is if the Republicans start their own oil company.
You can't drill for oil where you are growing pot. Either we lower gas prices or get high, but you can't have both. Now if you will excuse me, I'm hungry.
They wish to take control of as much land as possible while they have the upper hand via the outrageous gasoline prices.
Many of the leased lands now are not being drilled due to restrictions by states. You will never hear this from the left.
Because it makes hippies like you mad, and im glad theyre doin it
I said that a few days ago and got deleted


no one seemed to have a good answer for it





I think they are greedy...
How much oil is under those '68 million acres'?
congress won't let them drill, thats why they aren't drilling.
