at $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion

This line really makes me lose faith in the remainder of the information. Oil is nowhere near $107/bbl right now.

Posted links to this and the USGS release on another FR thread -Quinn and Rose Morning show. I'm also gonna repeatedly send it to members of congress.

I just gave it to my news anchor(WSHH-FM Pittsburgh)...I actually had given a similar release last year, but I wanted to rub his nose in it because he's big on global warming and environmental issues. Of course his response was that it's all in shale and would destroy the local environment.

Just pump the dang oil was my response to that.

I really wish I could find the article from the Post Gazette that was quoted. Searches both on their website and through Google have turned up nothing. Any chance you might have the link?

The left and their commie-in-chief Obammie will argue that domestic reserves are not enough to be independent. That is not why we need to drill here, drill now.

Having domestic capacity set up and running primarily takes away from OPEC their ability to cut back on supply in order to create crises in our nation and thus control such things as budget decisions, political decisions, and even elections.

The left knows this, and they know that OPEC typically sides with them, thus they do not want America to regain that independence.

Simply put, there is no sound reason for not drilling and processing our own reserves.

It would be better for us to help the Saudis and OPEC fund the Islamization of the world than use the resources that God in his providence has given us here in our own land. So screw us.

Oil in place, trapped in the shale isn’t the same as recoverable oil by drilling.

North Dakota and Montana have an estimated 3.0 to 4.3 billion barrels of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil in an area known as the Bakken Formation.

Lots of threads here discussing this back when USGS released their numbers last year. Click on the keyword “Bakken”.

a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion

That should last the Democrats and the Republicans about five minutes.

The Obama/Reid/Pelosi troika will not allow any further oil drilling in the continental US or Alaska and will instead pour billions into boondoggle biofuels. The first US refinery in almost 30 years is being developed in Elk Point,SD, but with a tree hugger in the White House, that project will probably get stopped for environmental reasons.

I’m beginning to believe that we shouldn’t exploit our oil reserves. Why should the clowns in Versailles have even more money to spend?

People who pay no income taxes will get rebates. What if nobody paid taxes? Harry Reid says our tax system is voluntary. The new Treasury Secretary says he forgot to pay his taxes. Charlie Rangel doesn’t understand Spanis; so he didn’t know he owed taxes. That’s good enough for me.

“Honest... I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD.”
