It could come yet, especially with this first, Chevron example of a vast and deep–ridiculously deep–oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. Although many more of them might mean more tar balls on the beaches at Port A, where the condo signs already warn weekend renters not to track inside what tar occasionally washes up. I suppose to make the break from Saudi Arabia, et al fully realistic, though, we’d first have to wean our various pols–including Daddy Bush–off the oil ticks’ cash. But it’s a hopeful sign for the future, anyhow. Without oil to sell, they’d have no influence at all. They still make nothing of their own, except carpets.
