Why do we have to depend on them? ________________________________________________________ Good question! Ask your beloved President in the WH. In 2010, the US imported an average of 900,000 BOPD from Nigeria. The Keystone XL could have easily replaced that 900K barrel from a stable reliable source. A strike was barely averted 2 weeks ago when the Nigerian govt back paddled and reinstated 50% of the gasoline subsidy. If the strike would have gone ahead, the US would have to scramble to find replacement for that 900K barrels of oil/day. [Edited by: VomVom at 2/5/2012 4:08:26 PM EST]

Shell demanded and succeeded in the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa, a Nigerian activities who exposed Shell's corruption and lies to the Niger delta's Ogoni people. Promised schools and hospitals were never built and all the money went to the very chosen few and the corrupt Nigerian government. ExxonMobil did not do better, except they had a smaller roll in Ken Saro-Wiwa's execution.
