why the F*CK waste that much money that much time on something that seems so frivolous? (okay, are we really in that bad of a shape oil wise?)
You hit it on the head. Pretty soon, the treaty that dictates the property use on the South Pole (currently restricted to research and non-impact studies) will run out. When it does, the US is ready to drill. There's supposedly a massive amount of oil down there.
