Does anyone here have actual numbers on the prospective supply awaiting us off our shores? Can they then do calculations on what percentage of global demand this would serve, and thus what the corresponding drop in projected price this would lead to? I don't have these numbers, but I'm guessing it's pennies. The market is too huge to move the needle significantly. Energy independence is a noble goal, but there are numerous ways to accomplish it, and many of them don't include increasing fossil fuel consumption while lining the pockets of Bush's buddies. I like those better.
