I was aware of the reserves, but not the magnitude reported here. If the "New Green Deal" folks thought they could profit from this, they'd jettison their BS and jump in.


Here's an astonishing read. Important and verifiable information:

About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and one of the Forbes Bros. was the guest. The host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much oil does the U.S. have in the ground?" Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "more than all the Middle East put together." Please read below. The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota, and extreme eastern Montana ..... check THIS out:

The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska 's Prudhoe Bay , and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... at $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5...3 trillion.

"When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.." says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst.

"This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years," reportsThe Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a formation known as the Williston Basin , but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' It stretches from Northern Montana , through North Dakota and into Canada . For years, U. S. oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves..... and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!
That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years straight. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from 2006!
U.S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World
Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006
Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling?
They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth.. Here are the official estimates:- 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
- 18-times as much oil as Iraq - 21-times as much oil as Kuwait
- 22-times as much oil as Iran
- 500-times as much oil as Yemen



!!! AND IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE IN THE WESTERN U.S. !!!
HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy.....WHY?
James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post. Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price - even with this find? Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace, - it has to. Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?

I think the earth is still making oil. Not as fast as we are burning it maybe but for the life of me I can't see why organic material would stop becoming oil.

All the great scientists and thinkers of 50 years ago said we were headed to another ice age. That oil was about to run out. Now we have more available than we did then?

Oh yeah eggs are bad for you, meat and salt is good

I was out hunting moose a couple of weeks ago and shot and missed and up through the ground came a bubbling crude.

jk: Just an FYI:

What you have posted is an old chain email from about 10-12 years ago. It is a mixture on half truth and outright false hood. It is a compilation of statements and estimates from multiple articles over several years, in an attempt to make you think it is all in context. It isn't.

Anytime you see anything from Stansberry Reports or Stansberry Research..............it is an attempt to sell you a subscription to what they euphemistically call an investment newsletter. It is nothing more than a pump & dump operation who's main goal is to sell subscriptions. USUALLY their headlines are preceded by the words AD or SPONSORED ...........always in faded text so you might not notice it.

Most of their publications are not credible.

State or feds have the mineral rights?

A few years back we had some consultants from the Alberta oil patch come fishing with us on a regular basis. One summer I asked them how much oil was in the tar sands. They told me that in the areas that are currently under production, there was enough oil to supply the world at current rates for the next 500 years. The tar sands extend all the way into southeast Yukon so there is a lot of oil that isnt even tapped into yet. We should have access to cheap energy. The current fuel prices are criminal, but elections have consequences, and i hope every single communist who supports the lefts policies go broke.
