#5 Instead of making a nuke sub to defend their oil, they should use a different design and make a nuke sub to help them drill for oil.

This would not only speed production considerably, but be cutting edge technology, which they could lease for big money to the oil companies. In turn it wouldn't cost a fortune, it would make a fortune.

#6 Jeeze Louise! They have not even developed this oil field and they have already figured out a way to blow their oil wad. They are very much like Iran in this regard.
