@WakeUpAussie Get your facts straight: http://bit.ly/PTNnQM @CNN does a good job here.
@WakeUpAussie Energy extracton on public lands has been declining since 2002. Private lands, up 20% from 2008 to 2010 http://bit.ly/PTNnQM
@WakeUpAussie On federal lands, rig count is down, but production UP from 609,000 bbl/yr to 675,000 bbl/yr http://bit.ly/PTNnQM
@WakeUpAussie The only blip in the steady INCREASE in oil/gas extraction happened in 2010 because something happened, I guess.
@WakeUpAussie OH YEAH! On April 20 2010, there was an explosion on a rig somewhere #deepwaterhorizon
