The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Well, no. For off-shore drilling, nearby states will have to approve. And to drill anywhere, expect a decade or two of “environment” court cases.

BUT –
there are some wells currently producing which are not counted as such because they only put out a relative dribble while court cases (as mentioned above) proceed about things like building roads or pipelines to get full-production flow going. Some of these may be nearing completion.
AND –
I haven’t the foggiest idea how to actually verify this: I have heard there are some off-shore wells in existence but capped, presumably Californian – and a coule of cities in Calif are starting to ask why they cannot allow wells…
