U.S. Is Running Out Of Oil, Or Are We

This week on Tuesday the President interrupted primetime to talk to the nation about the horrible oil spill in the Gulf. The effort outlined assured the people of the U.S. that extraordinary efforts were being made to take control of the situation and protect the environment.  The second major point was all about assuring the citizens of the U.S. that BP (the oil company which owned the deep sea drill) would be footing the bill.
