Got this from a dear friend. I am pissed - time to throw the whole bunch out and start over! GOOGLE it or follow this link.. It will blow your mind. http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1911
The U.S.. Geological Service issued a report in April ('08) that only scientists and oilmen 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 S outh Dakota; and extreme eastern Montana ... check THIS out:
The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discove ry 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 Williston Basin , but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' And it stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and int o 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 break through ha s opened up the Bakken's massive reserves... and we now have acces s 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, people!]
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 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 a ll right here in the
Western United States .
HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this!? Because the democrats, environmentalists and left wing republicans have blocked all efforts to help America become 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. ---- [ G ot your attention/ire 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 ti me 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.! |

HELL, I've been saying that for years.. There was also suppose to have been a big oil find some where (I think) in Texas a few yrs ago. We have enough oil of our own but the goverment just doesn't seem to want to see it, or use it. They say it's in reserve. Reserve for WHAT!!!??? For when? For who? It's going to take a hell of a lot of us to gather together & start to tell the goverment WHAT WE WANT!! But the people are to afraid to stand up to them. What are they going to do with millions of people saying STOP!!! We've had enough!! |
