President Bush

I live in Baytown (home of Exxon Mobile), and Ii work on the port of Houston. I see every day the plants and refineries. I also drive in the traffic every day from these plants and refineries. Freeport is one town. A very small one at that. Though it is sad to see a town pretty much shut down because of the industry, there are many, many surviving oil companies. I drive about 20 miles of a freeway every day. All the way down both sides (and Ii am not exaggerating) is nothing but refineries. I smell the results of the ever growing oil industry every minute of every day. It is not taking a dive as many would believe. As technology advances, we are finding more and more oil in deeper water. You see those Kerr McGee commercials that talk about how they can now reach previously un-reachable oil? I had a part in that. There is enough oil in the gulf to outlast anyone on these boards, we just have to get to it. And slowly, we are learning more and more about that process.
