Ok, OVM, Back to family based programing. As I said, Canada can is and will continue to drill Lake Erie. Snippet below, entire like under it.
In 2006 there were 92 commercial oil and gas producers in Ontario. There were 1,045 active oil wells 1275 active natural gas wells and 158 wells which report production of both oil and natural gas. 513 of the gas wells were located offshore on Crown land under Lake Erie and 18 wells drilled horizontally beneath Lake Erie from onshore locations produced both oil and natural gas from Crown lands.

Yes, pewny for now, they are expanding that work as we speak. They are NOT being all the careful either. Like I said before. Many of those well heads are in shallow enough water that small boat can and have hit them. They are NOT marked.
They are there, LOTS of them. The point being is that ALL the Great Lakes are already being drilled for oil. Both on the U.S. and Canadian sides. The idea is to do all we can to insure that it is done as safely as possible.
Drive up the post counts!! There is a Canadian company bidding with the Michigan DNR for a drilling contract offshore in Lake Michigan.
So there is Gregs jobs he wanted...oh wait your Governor will have temporary work visas issued so Canadians can do the work...
Our governor? Do something useful? NO WAY!!
Useful to everyone else but you Michiganites...
She is the ULTIMATE Obama Bum and it is NOT Michiganites, it is Michiganders, Man, get it right!!!
Nope, it is a "special" Michigan only term. It is just "Michigander" and we are PROUD of it!! SO THERE!

OVM, there are a lot of jobs after the well is up and running, from maintainance to refining jobs. We have Marathon expanding downriver to handle shale oil (*cough from Canada) but if we can expand it more to handle lake crude, then that means more jobs.
In addition if Canada would stop send us garbage, that can be converted into gas through a process being used over here, Standard Oil has been doing it for years and it works well.
The job thing is not just about people working either, it keeps the trucks moving into and out of the state which means more work for you and E-1.

Natural gas is a renewable resource. We are not doing all we can to exploit that fact. We are using some of the gas but not nearly all that is available. There is much we can be doing. Politics is the problem.
You mean methane in the bold...???
Well tell your Governor to quit buying the garbage!!
Canadian garbage is creating jobs for you...gee whiz...
Yep, just rippin you guys off for years!! They use a lot of the gas produced at the project in Riverview at that auto plant where they make the Mustangs. I worked on that landfill when I was in high school.
Trash is a wonderful source of energy. We need to look at it harder. So is our sewage. We could be getting methane off of that.
Yep, Canada PAYS us to bury the trash. We make money. We have jobs. The trash decays, produces methane. We convert the methane into other more usable gasses. Like Natural Gas. We have jobs. We sell the gas. We make money. That gas burns clean. Sounds good to me.
No problem for me on this issue. Just do not like drilling for oil on the lakes.

They already are. Have been for years. Most of the drilling is in Canadian water but they have drilled in the U.S. as well. It may be too late to stop it. We must do more to insure the safety of it. I doubt if it ever goes away.

Oh BOY what jobs? We have Canadian driver coming here, driving like they need to get back over the border before the Indians get them and we have ten guys running the dump - big whoop.
How about 30 or so people who live and work here in a crew working one oil rig?
How many can be sitting in the lakes?
Then we have the support people, like the local truck drivers and the welders, pipe fitters and so on. God just the construction jobs alone could be over 1000.
Oh let's not forget the fuel used to do all of this, the state gets taxes from it.
By the way we could produce more garbage in this state to make up for any losses by the Canadian garbage IF we have people working and buying stuff to throw away. The company who handles it will make the same amount of money with ours as with theirs, the loss to the US government may be a problem (custom tolls). The real problem is we are not producing what we should in garbage because everyone left the state and those of us who are left here can't find the light switch to turn off the light, so we are stuck here.

Considering when you cross the bridge, you are in "Detroit", I drive like a bat out of hell also!

As do I!! Detroit is one of the few places on earth where you can get your wheels taken off while still in motion.
