Venezuelan Oil?

Question

Why not pursue a relationship with Venezuela for oil?

Answer 1

Venezuela already exports a lot of oil to the U.S.  I am not aware that they could export any more.

Answer 2

GEEZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

they are socialists and have seized oil production and fields for gov't ownership.  their leader is a despot.  

other than that, i cannot find any reason to play nice with them.

Answer 4

Chavez doesn't want one. He has very anti-American values.

Edit: Yes Chavez has been doing what he promised. He has been making everyone be more equal... by making everyone be poor. He's a corrupt b@@tard.

Answer 5

Because they don't have much.  We destroyed almost a quarter of Ecuador for 4 days worth of oil.  Why not pursue something more viable in place of oil.  Did you know that we have to find an oil field nine times larger than the biggest oil field discovered on North America to meet our energy needs?  Or you could find nine fields of equal size to the biggest field on record.  Either way, it's not going to happen.  Time to face facts and pay the piper who is waiting on line 2.
