25% of the oil comes from the gulf coast. Katrina did do some damage. But, what people don't see is the other countries like China, India, are coming up and will pay top $ for this product. SO the big companies will cut off the man that is paying $113.00 a barrel and go with the countries they will pay $200 a barrell. We see this now in the Fertilizer industries. Raw materials that we need to make fertilizer is brought by overseas companies. Because you know what it comes down to MONEY TALKS. and then you and I are cut out., at the gas pump, grocery stores, our jobs plants shut down, I say have at it and drill. the question is once we drill and we get our OWN oil. In ten years, Is going to be ours to help at home or going to the highest price?
