How many acres of land that are leased to the Oil Companies are stopped by Liberal Lawsuits from producing?

Half of available oil lands have envionmental lawsuits. Liberals that means out of your 68, 000 leases 34,000 are unproductive due to your litigation. So is it true that your leaders in Congress are only telling half the real story.How many acres of land that are leased to the Oil Companies are stopped by Liberal Lawsuits from producing?
Couple that with the fact that they have stopped the construction of new refineries and the ability for existing refineries to be upgraded and increased in size and capacity, and you've nailed it!





How dare those very people whine about the price of oil!How many acres of land that are leased to the Oil Companies are stopped by Liberal Lawsuits from producing?
Gee, no links or citations to back up your claim....





Read up on Thomsons Point in Alaska.....oil companies do not want to drill on leases they already own. They are waiting until possible lease revocation to even propose drilling plans. They have been adn will continue to do ';just enough to get by'; in an effort to maximize profits. Its a natural resource, funny how our natural and essential resources, when turned over to privatization, always end up more costly and less efficient than before.





Then, look at how much oil US companies refine (here) versus how much is sold on the market here.....





This is why our government, by and large, wont allow further leases. think about it. Why would our government provide leases for oil companies to sell our oil to other nations for higher profits? Why do you condone this? This is exactly what is at debate here.
I'm going to repeat myself once again, because while I talk about this in teh context of offshore drilling, it applies to all drilling in the U.S. And by the way, I still have no decent response to this, so feel free to provide one:


It's not about the environment, though that is an issue. The major issue involved here is the efficiency of what we're doing right now. Our offshore drilling sites are only being used at about 10% efficiency, a testament to American wastefullness. Rather than fix that already active system, our solution is to make a bunch more drills, which will effectively raise oil prices rather than reduce them, and maybe stand to gain from these locations over a period of several decades. Even Bush himself has said it's more about a change in mentality than in the number of oil barrels we have right now. I for one am not willing to wait that long for relief with gas prices, especially when that relief comes paired with a ruined offshore environment.
There is no oil there, why not free up the other 192 billion acres to find the oil, then let the oil companies lease it from us. That's the way it should work.
Provide cites for your assertions. There are tens of millions of acres of our land under lease to the oil companies.
NONE THE CONGRESS IS FOR '; DECADES '; SITTING ON IT BECAUSE IT IS CHEAPER TO IMPORT OIL THAN DRILLING FOR IT
Also, just because land is leased doesn't mean there is oil beneath it.
Some crock
