Spence, I thought I read that it was possible that there was 3 to 15 billion barrels in that area in the gulf. The world uses 84 million barrels a day, so 500 million wouldn't have much of an impact on the long range price of oil. Billions on the other hand, could bring down the future price.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
