I know it's not germane to oil, but the "environmentalist wackos" statement just gets me going. Folks in the City of Portland will probably be cutting a lot of trees now because they can. Soon they won't be able to...
I saw a 1910-1920-ish photo of my town and surrounding countryside (suburban Portland). The vegetation was wiped clean. I am convinced there are more trees now (at least in the US) than in the early part of the twentieth century.
Back to oil... Are these reserves any harder to extract (i.e. more expensive to get to)?
