Massive Oil Deposit Could Increase US reserves by 10x

So why are we not using this to balance our books and getting us of the foreign oil teat? This study was released in 2008 if I read correctly.

It's more important we save the land for the poor animals who can't speak for themselves than drill for oil on our own land.

Tree highers funded by foreign oil money. Of course if we did anything to seriously undermine the middle eastern money I imagine we would be at the highest terror alerts of all times.

There has to be a way to minimize the impact to the citizens and wildlife instead of just wasting the resources or raping the people and land. Instead we are offered platitudes, economic slavery and eco terrorist and tree huggers offering us green cars that do no better for the environment when you factor everything together.

Good grief America!

Because it's not as simple as your website makes it out to be.

In the spirit of thread recycling, I refer you to post 153 I made in a thread a few months ago:
https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...iscussion/105365-ingo_challenge_proof-16.html

I made it as clear as is possible to be made with evidence from actual scientific geological journals and publications, not just website articles. I gave a layman's explanation, an educated layman's explanation, and the geologist geek's explanation.

4.3 billion barrels of crude oil would last up 194.5 days. That seems like a lot of crude oil, but we use 22 million barrels a "day". We have 5% of the worlds population [adding also all the who sneak in on a daily basis] and we consume 25% of the worlds supply of crude oil. And now China and India what to increase their consumption. The world is out growing it's natural resources, period.

I heard China and some other country were gonna start using there currency instead of the dollar to trade oil,I predict that the U.S. will mysteriously find a couple huge oil reserves here in the near future. Pruedoe Bay will be booming.
