I think 18 minutes of video is too much investment for me to make when you haven't bothered to even summarize the key points or tell me what YOU think.

Sorry.

We should go drill off the coast of China

Not that I want China to get the sales for it, but at least they’re going to get more supply out on the market and maybe help lower the prices.

oh woops okay key issues:

Various laws in the US are according to the Idaho Senator are self defeating and limiting American competitiveness. He says that America is now moving into the direction of reucing energy dependance from the middle east and says the best place to do so would be to start drilling in our own backyards but is annoyed at how various countries are mining oil in Cuban waters when it could be American companies doing it better.

I found it interesting and I do agree that a majority of USA's laws are self defeating and to be more competitive they probly should revise them, i think the main sticker point is that while Canadian, Chinese and etc countries can drll anywhere American companies are restricted by law to only drill within a certain distance.

Dude, I live in Idaho. This state has the 48th lowest income level per capita in the United States. And Idaho senator saying anything about competitiveness in the World market is going to fall upon my ears only when they are chock full of cotton.

Right. Because this specific senator is surely to blame for the circumstances which led to this low income level, and therefore cannot be trusted.

I agree.

The correlation is obvious, immediate, and undeniable. That is some awesome logic.
