Car safety stats (risk of death vs risk of killing other drivers)

Nonsense. There's oil off the California coast,and some of it NATURALLY bubbles up from the sea floor. There's oil in coastal ANWR. There's oil off the coast of South America,and oil in the South China Sea(a shallow sea,too). there's still enough places we haven't even explored yet,too.

our main problem now is the environuts/socialists who hinder our drilling and refining,and cost us economically and strategically by making us dependent on foreign oil.

with -today's- processes. The use of some of those might even be inhibited by the environuts who want us to do without oil.

Even if you were right and these is actually plenty of oil (you aren't but let's just assume), you think it's ok to keep burning it at the rate we do? It's all just a plot of the environnut socialists to keep the poor capitalists from enjoying life? Global warming and the threat of huge damage to the earth is just another plot, right?

There certainly are untapped oil deposits, but they aren't as big as you think. If ANWR came on line next year, it might take US production levels back to 1999, but nowhere near our 1970 peak. The reality of the development process is that, by the earliest time the undeveloped US capacity could come on line, we will be lucky if it would bring us back up to today's production level.

There is no magic recovery process. You can't do it with a microchip. It is very slow, very dirty and very expensive.
