Exxon Mobil Makes Major Find In The Gulf

Found on Drudge...

Quote
Exxon Mobil said Wednesday it has discovered an estimated 700 million barrels of oil equivalent at a deepwater well off the Louisiana coast, a major find that a top House Republican argued should push the administration to speed up offshore permitting.

"This is one of the largest discoveries in the Gulf of Mexico in the last decade,” Exxon Mobil Exploration Company President Steve Greenlee said in a statement.

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

Get permission from the state of Louisiana and start drilling. Tell the federal government to pound sand. Dare them to use the military to stop you. Tell the American people you're trying to lower the price of their gasoline.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Man, I would love to see that happen!  That is the proper decision to make, but I doubt Jindal has the stones and Exxon exec's will not want to be left dangling without a net, they'd play it safe and wait for Obamakov to be tossed out office if they have nobody covering their ass!
