Is it true? Leveled gulf land will be tapped for oil?
Thought I heard something on AAR (?) the other day about how oil reserves were probably lying under the homes of poor people on the Gulf Coast. Exploration/drilling couldn't happen until the houses and people in them were gone.

Guess time will tell. Of course, MSM won't disclose this info. If the internet still exists next year, someone may clue us in.

How much of Katrina was real and how much was manufactured?

1. Most people do NOT own the mineral rights under their homes.
And they CAN come and level your home to get at them.

They don't need a disaster like this.

2. But doesn't it look better for the pols-oilmen to leverage the
disaster than to just run 'em off the land? Besides, this way Halliburton etal will drain the coffers dry.
