Yes, but then the same goes for here too! Took me 9 months to see an eye specialist and had some other tests canceled because they couldn’t fit me in. If I had a lot of money, I could have shortened these, but then so can a Canadian.
To add to this, the US produces more natural gas than it consumes, thus we are exporting about 4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas a year. If we had more drilling, we would only reduce our reserves faster and the rest of the world would reduce their production to keep prices where they are at, and we would pay dearly when our reserves start running out.
By the way, I guess I’m not geek enough as I don’t understand the joke, but not sure engineers qualified as geeks even though we had slide rules and pocket protectors.
I have mine sitting right next to me, and was required to take a pre-entry course in using a slide rule prior to starting an engineering curriculum at college.
