But that doesn't include the estimated 200 billion barrels of oil trapped below two miles of shale in the Bakken Formation, a wildly rich reserve that stretches through Montana and North Dakota.

Or does it include the riches unknown by lack of exploration via regulation that isn't even on the table.

The band plays on...

Outhouses and horseshoe manufacturers may make a comeback in our country some day because of planet saving generated vices.

Nor does it include the oil resources locked up in oil shale. Try 1.6 trillion or 1600 billion barrels of oil or roughly 5 times the reserves of Saudi Arabia.

If/when we bring that online and we become the dominant oil producer for the next 200 years.
