Oil was discovered in Pennsylvania in 1859. In 1863 Rockefeller built an oil refinery in the Cleveland area.  Standard Oil Co. (Ohio) was incorporated in 1870.\n\nWhere was oil struck?\n\nIn the rock (shale), fellers.

Yes.. a "cest" pool.\n\nMy suspicion is the cornerstone Cheney's energy policy (the closed door meeting with energy companies he had in early 2001) was that we were going to have a reason to go into Afghanistan and Iraq. Hooooray for oil!

the US gets it's oil from  OPEC ( Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countires). This includes Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and many other middle eastern countires. \nSOme of the oil does come from the south ( texas for example). As to prices google it.

A scientist by the name of Gold theorized that the Earth itself produces oil, I can't remember all the details, but the idea is the mechanism for this production is beneath the Earth's mantle, farther than anyone has ever drilled. There is a little evidence to support it, and I believe the Canadian gov't was sponsoring a drilling operation to see if it was true. Gold had a reputation for pushing forth seemingly insane theories that eventually proved true.

Did the oil companies destroy the environment?  Really?  The environment is destroyed?  Have you been to eastern Europe?  I have, and let me tell you, our environment is not even close to being destroyed.  The environments over there are WAY worse off than they are here, and guess what?  All that destruction was done by their governments under communism (not by 'greedy' companies)!  And who do you think is driving the oil industry anyway?  Everyone who buys fuel, or anything made out of plastic or other oil products, or buys something shipped with oil burning methods is driving it.  You need to learn some basic economics and think about things holistically to see the real forces that drive things.  Good luck with that.\nOur judicial system will never be cleaned up as long as it has so much power.  It is a law of nature that power attracts the corrupt.  If you want a judicial system that is corruption free, you need to drastically reduce its power over the people.  Most people look at government and its branches as a benevolent big brother rather than the necessary evil that great men like Ben Franklin and Jefferson did.  The bigger and more powerful it gets, the more corrupt it will get, period.

Oil! They are now drilling for it in the plains of Asher! It several miles deep. And may take a year to reach.   My question is will this relieve the pressure from the Saudi wells? If so all hell will break loose over there!

Well, i've been thinking about this for a long time.  \nWell, look at the Persian Gulf.  Most of our oil comes from that region, the Saudi, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq area.  Follow the Persian Gulf down a bit and you come to a very thing narrow strip of water that connects it to the Indian OCean.  This strait is called the Strait of Hormuz.  If you can block this strait with water mines or something like that, the world will buckle down as it can't get most of it's oil.  \nmake your demands, make me rich, and happily ever after.

It is thought that John D. Rockefeller is the richest man that ever lived (adjusted for inflation).  He paid for the creation of Rockefeller center in New York and started the University of Chicago with its initial endowment.  It would be very difficult to find someone richer than him from the eras before modern accounting.
