About the proposed new U.S. off-shore oil drilling...

Q) Does anybody else know that nobody knows if there's any oil or natural gas in these spots to begin with? Q) Does anybody else know that if there is oil, it would take between eight and fourteen years before it is produced? Q) Does anybody else know that if the proposed off-shore new oil drilling produces oil and natural gas, all of that new product would account for only less than one percent of the total world oil production? Q) Does anybody else know this???!!!
