Re: Re: Gas or Oil out, What is the problem????

My husband's family has several wells on their farm property in Midland
county that aren't even being pumped right now.  Their dividend checks went
from a few thousand dollars a year a few years ago to less than $100 this
last year!   I would LIKE to see us use our OWN oil in this country!!
