As far as the comment on oil; you are very correct. In Canada; there is the ongoing research and application of extracting oil from "oil sands". Here in the United States,we have ongoing research and application into extracting oil from shale. The Green River Valley holds enough shale that by estimate of the Department of Energy, is at least double the proven reserves of Saudi Arabia. The only problem currently is developing a cost-effective method of doing the extraction. With oil prices hovering around $50.00-$55.00 a barrel to import;and an estimated $70.00 to extract and convert from shale; can you see the situation our government is in?
As long as it is cheaper to import the oil; it will be imported. When we can find a way to cost-effectively tap into our own gold mine in the Green River Valley, we can improve ourselves on the diplomatic side . Have no illusions; money does control policy in America.Do you think America can close its borders to Mexico now? Monetarily, no way. Luckily we have no real gripe with Canada- our number one oil exporter.
This was why President Bush signed a bill that authorized the exploration and possibly drilling for oil in the Great Lakes. I know this was a sore spot with many voters; but look at the monetary implications.
By the way the address that I promised in the earlier post for a list of our top oil exporters is: www.eia. doe. gov. It will show you that in October of 2006; Mexico was our Number 2 exporter of oil.This has diplomatic leverage- whether we like it or not.
I'm glad you brought up the point of the alternative oil sources. I have been doing some research into two companies that are involved in these ventures: In Canada- Alberta Oil Sands . In America- Unocal. Should I feel the information is favorable; I will instruct my investment broker to purchase stock in these companies.
It's just seems that everytime we make a deal with Mexico,we have to bribe too many people to get the deal done, and we are the one's to take the slap in the face.. look at the border as it is today. not only do we have illegals crossing but we have the Mexican military helping the drug dealers, this alone is an act of war.. yet nothing is done, where is the outrage?

I know i am not the smartest person in the world but,,something has to be done to let mexico know that we as American will not stand for an invadion by mexican troops..

On oil, let not forget about corn, we can make fuel from that but we need to get started..Now if I have the money k-85( something-85) is what I would invest in.we in the south have some high hope for this, as i am should many farmers all over the country are taking notice...
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL THAT DEFENDS HER..
