With Govt backing, we might just get somewhere. We would be looking pretty deficient if a big war broke out and we couldn't get the necessary crude.

After all, war plans in WWII were drawn up with crude oil sources in mind. It's a real Achilles Heel for the US.

For me, this lends an air of truth to the original post. I'm hopeful.
