I know why don't we give Brazil a billion or two, maybe three to help them drill so we can watch them sell it to our enemies.
No wait, I think someone has already done that!
Don't you hate it when all the good ideas are taken.

The question was asked as "Drillable oil" .... I have lived in Colorado for 45 years, since I was a teenager. The supposed oil in Colorado in NOT drillable nor it is oil. For some reason Republican canidates have been speading a rumor that the US has more oil resources than the Middle East. There has been several oil shale boom/bust cycles have come and gone in Colorado. Now there is a new process which requires FRACKING, I don't drink bottled water but some people do now after the Natural Gas people came in and used FRACKING to release the gas. Now in some counties they can light the water with a match. Not a fun thing.
You might want to read up on FRACKING and the deal VP Cheney made, in serect, with his buddies so they didn't have to disclose the FRACKING fluids contents which means when it gets into the ground water no one can prove it was a fracking fluid.
I live, in the summer, in El Paso county....look it up. Thats part of the new oil zone in Colorado. Check out the link...
