i have found some sites but there not really give good info,please helpCan anybody give me info on oil drilling in antarctica and its advantages?
Under international treaty no country currently ';owns'; Antartica, it is set aside for scientific research. However, recent news articles have discussed that due to global warming the Artic (North Pole) Sea will become navigable. Nations are beginning to fight over the possible oil reserves that are thought to be found there. In our own country (US) we have discussed for years drilling in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).
Therefore the advantage to drilling for oil in the Antartic is that another source of oil can be found. One that is far from the troubled Middle East. Vast amounts of money would be saved by the nation discovering such a source. Also if the source is large enough, OPEC would be weakened. For the US this would be a major blessing because it would help our trade deficit and reduce the amount of dollars travelling to the Middle East. Money, which some speculate, is used to finance terrorism.Can anybody give me info on oil drilling in antarctica and its advantages?
It would make us less dependent on oil from places like the Middle East and Venezuela. We need more oil to keep our economy going until such time as alternate energy forms can be developed.
