BLOWN Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 GOOGLE it or follow this link. It will blow your mind. SNOPES has an interesting report , as well. http://www..usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1911 The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April ('08) that only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since '95) 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: 1. 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.' reports, The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a formation known as the WillistonBasin, but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' And it stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakotaand 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. How ever, 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 41 years straight. 2. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from TWO YEARS AGO! 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 Mountainslies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. 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 United States. HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help Americabecome independent of foreign oil! 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. ---- Got your attention fire up yet? Hope so! Now, while! you're thinking about it ... and hopefully P.O'd, do this: 3. Pass this along.. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you want to complain about gas prices .. because by doing NOTHING, you've forfeited your right to complain. -------- Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you sent this to every one in your address book. could it be true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stump_breaker Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Lets see, IMO - #1 reason is greed #2 America went from a production nation to a consumption nation. Let's use up everyone elses oil before using our own - and that is assuming what we are taught is correct about oil being a finite resource and not a naturally occurring substance in the earth. Think I'm crazy, look it up. #3 Eco-nuts. When it comes to money, eco-nuts are not the first reason for for it getting blocked they are just given the blame/glory depending on how you see it. It's an easy scapegoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
