Consider getting facts and figures from a source other than the US government. The rest of the world has a different story (Mostly places with non-demcratic regimes or weapons of mass destruction but alas no oil). Don’t you remember Nixon announcing to the world how our oil supplies would last for hundreds of years...?

It is not possible for the US to supply almost half the oil it uses. We passed that stage in the late sixties. It is not possible for the US to supply ten percent of it’s oil requirements. They aren’t making any more dinosaurs. They used up what they had.

Check out the film called A CRUDE AWAKENING.
Pay special attention to the chapter on “the numbers don’t add up”. Surprise. Our leaders are lying.

The price of oil has not even begun to rise.
And it ain’t never going down again.

Have an oily day.

I am in the seismic industry. And the US has over 2 trillion barrels of oil (crude, shale) that would last for quite sometime. And not too long ago we found 15 billion barrels of crude oil in the Gulf of Mexico but it is quite deep under the subsurface and will require new technologies and equipment to extract it. That work is in progress right now.

We have plenty of oil in the USA. More than enough.
