@johnmartin4641 no, its always profitable, the expenses just get passed down to the end consumer as a price hike. they dont use a lot of those leases because in order to drill on a lease, the company needs to first build a road to the leased land, and if they cant get the lease to build the road then they cant get their trucks to the leased land with all the equipment to do the drilling. it goes something like this. you cant apply for a construction lease until you have a drilling lease, and you cant apply for an improvements and easements lease until you get the constructions lease, so first you get the drilling lease, and then you apply for the constructions lease which might get delayed, but once you get that then you can apply for the improvements and easement lease, and that might get delayed too, by the time you get all the necessary leases to do what you need to do your originall drilling lease has expired and you have to start the process all over again. its a way for the government to make money and for the oil company to make money too, the government makes money off the leases and off the taxes on higher fuel costs and its a way for the companies to make more money by raising prices and claiming costs have gone up. each one can simply point the finger at the other party and claim its their fault while secretly they are in bed together making money off the people. i mean how many times have you heard the government claim that these companies have thousands of leases that they dont use, but what they dont tell you is that most of those leases are unusable.

oh noes, another politician who either did NOT deliver on a promise or outright BROKE a promise. keep voting for them because they make promises instead of delivering on their promises.

it takes more than just drilling leases, there are also development leases and transport leases and waste leases that need to be aproved. they have the leases to drill for oil, but they dont have the leases to build the roads to the wells or to build up the infrastructure to be able to do the drilling. thats like if you get a permit to build a house, but you cant get the permit to build the road to the property to have the trucks deliver the building materials and you cant get the permits to actually transport the building materials. thats how they get you, thats how they lie to you.

@- Ashai - the gov wont start seizing them back, because they make money on them. the oil company pays a fee for the lease whether they use it or not, if the government pulls it back then the oil company doesnt pay a fee for it. its one big giant scam. the gov will give a lease for drilling, the oil company buys the lease and starts paying the fee for the lease, but in order to start drilling, the company also needs to get other leases such as improvement permits and infrastructure permits and transportation permits and so on. the government effectively slowballs the other permits and leases so they can extend the lease life of the land. you can get 200 drilling leases, but they do you no good if you are only allowed to buil;d roads and transport equipment to 100 of those leased spots.

@AdamBladeTaylor the government doesnt want to do that and will never do that because they collect money from the leases.
