There is no finite supply, or if there is we are 100 years away from it. I don’t know who has put this thought into the senator’s mind, but it is a bad thought in terms of energy and a bad thought in terms of the politics of this campaign. Look, we have the Bakken fields, the outer continental shelf and all the offshore drilling opportunities, ANWR, and so forth. There’s probably over a trillion barrels worth of reserves out there.
Pie in the sky, Larry. Are you back snorting coke again?
“ThereÂ’s probably over a trillion barrels worth of reserves out there”
I read in just oil shale in the US we have over 800 billion barrels, several more hunderds of billions of barrels off shore.
Now China and Cuba are drilling 60 miles off the FL coast.
Please, no one is dissing nukes, coal to oil, bio diesel, etc..... There has got to be enough oil to get the US to the point where it can produce energy from these next generation sources.... We need more oil...
What part of this do you all not understand
I did not make this chart...it comes from the
EIA For anyone to think we can just conserve our way out of this nightmare crisis is naive to say the least....Oh yeah, I hear the green red diaper doper babies on TV all day long telling everyone to just take the bus, put more air in your tires, walk, ride a bus.....AS IF this will stop the consumption of
9 million barrels a day...
Here is another good one...lets all just increase the taxes of oil so we can force conservation....the stupidity just never ends.
Any other country would be drilling like madmen if they had all these potential reserves.
I can sympathize with you if you are a volunteer or work for McCain. But McCain and his campaign have got to get this thru their thick skulls or lose.
And do not get me started on wind and solar...you are just asking for it...
