OK. But how will oil from our already drilled wells being sold over seas help us? The oil companies gonna cut you in on a percentage?
Oil is gonna need more workers and drivers. The money they make goes into the economy. As for % if you own the mineral rights to your property in oil country then you get money from the oil companies. Why do you think Texans drive big cars and live in big houses? Oil.
How many people do you think it takes to flip a switch to turn on a pump? The infrastructure is already in place. There might be a couple extra hands needed on the docks, but everything else is computerized. A hand full of people to reopen some wells, and that's it.
LMAO!!!
Ignorance never looked so ugly ....
Rally? why don't you share some of your vast knowledge, and tell us exactly how a handful of temporary oil field lobs are going to solve our problems.
First of all, it isn't a "handful of temporary oil field jobs". It is a group of engineers defining the most cost efficient approach to installing the pipeline. It is a group of steel workers creating pipe for the pipeline. It is a group of truck drivers transiting pipe to the build site. It is a group of people workers digging the hole and installing the pipeline. It is a group of engineers testing the installed pipeline. It is a group of people building, managing, and maintaining the pumps that move the oil. It is the truckers at the end of the pipeline moving oil over to the refineries. It is the refinery engineers, management, and maintenance crews. It is the office workers for every one of those companies. It is the McDonald's workers, and the grocery workers, and the gas station owners, and the new car salesmen. And, last but not least, it is the government workers responsible for oversight.
Your simplistic approach - while ever so cute - demonstrates your complete lack of knowledge.
