7. The oil doesn't have to go directly to you
I think it's a very simple idea: oil companies drill, and if they find the oil, they spend money to develop it and produce it. Their profits are taxed, and the activities generate employment. It's not too complicated, is it? As for tar sands and shale, if it's done properly, why not do it? It allows for economic activity as well.
