Good. Now everything can go back to normal.

I couldn't agree more. The gulf is a thriving marine environment, and oil derricks make awesome artificial reefs :)

Shh don't tell the Bushes but the Florida Everglades are absolutely brimming with thick black crude just under their Swampy Federally Protected surface.

...so does this mean bush will declare war on the gulf of mexico?

No, it means that the big oil leaders of this nation will need: yet another excuse (read: YAE) to fuck us all in our dirty poop holes.

YAE!

Nothing will change. You are still a 2.5th world citizen and yet another poor fuck living beneath the cloven hooves of our filthy rich nigger owner bosses.

Have A Nice Day!

Your both wrong. This means I can keep my SUV with a 7.5 litre motor.

...and it'll still cost your stupid ass 50% of your pay to visit vasudevas numb nuts with a twink DVD and a box of latex hats.

Gather around little dudes, wotak is typing.

SKOOL

never make assumptions about the poop holes of others

Yer all fucked in the head. The US uses 20.7 million barrels a day. 3-15 Billion barrels divided by current consumption rates means this oil patch represents between 144 and 742 days worth of US consumption.

Just look at the difference between what's been found and used over the past 20 years or the decline in what's been found at all in the past 50 years.
This achievement does NOT break the trend. Peak oil is not when we run out of oil, it's when we run out of cheap oil.

This never happens.

:-D

You all use my ass pennies

Also note that this is the (ocean) deepest find ever. The cost to extract it will necessarily be higher than many other existing deposits. This additional find does not immediately point to lower oil and oil product costs.
