Making sure we out pollute China is not necessarily the right way to 
approach the problem.  Their population of 1.2 billion is a problem waiting 
in the wings as they want to catch up with us.

A couple of data items from today.  Ford motor company announced that it 
was ahead of schedule to trim employees by 75,000.  Toyota announced it was 
ahead of schedule to build three new plants by 2009 in order to increase 
production by 450,000 units a year for the burgeoning China and India 
markets. China's 1.2 billion and India's 900 million population all want 
the same TVs, refrigerators, and cars they see the west as having.

James, Jack 2 is just one well.  The whole point of this story/discovery
is that prior to Jack 2 striking oil, it was thought that there were no
reserves that deep anywhere.  So, when Jack 2 hit it rich, so to speak,
it not only provided a new reserve for possible US resources (I had read
 that Jack 2 alone would provide the US with a  minimum of 2 years of
petroleum.), but it opened the door for ultra deep drilling all over the
world in areas previously thought barren.
By the way, there would be no pipeline in this equation.  From all I
have read, the oil would be pumped directly to tankers for transport to
refineries, and this oil is light and sweet, as they say, easy to refine.

Bev, who is in and out of the house doing all kinds of things today, so
is having to resort to disjointed conversations... :)
