They will tap the resource and sell it to the highest bidder. Your land will get raped and in the end also you and I.
an example:
Apache (NYSE:APA) reports that the scheduled start-up of its Kitimat liquefied natural gas project in western Canada will be postponed for a year, while the firm continues to search for reliable contracts with buyers in Asia. APA owns the proposed plant with Encana (NYSE:ECA) and EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG), and when put online the facility would be the first to transport large quantities of the gas to Asia.
Don't be fooled by these companies, the all mighty dollar prevails. This will not get us off foreign oil.
