As the Cline is roughly 9,800 square miles in size, this works out to estimated reserves in excess of 30 billion barrels.

These reserves could easily eclipse the Bakken (4.3 billion barrels according to conservative government estimates) and the Eagle Ford (3 billion barrels).

The radical left winger Hussein 0bama will install as the head of the EPA, with the help of RINOs like Graham and McLame, will not allow us to tap this resource, so don’t get excited. Hussein wants to keep energy prices high so he can continue to subsidize companies like Solyendra and to keep subsidizing his muzzie bros in the mid-east.

The libs would rather starve in the dark than allow us to become energy independent.

If this field is not on federal land the US Govt has no control. The current North Dakota boom is entirely on either private or state land. I am sure that unlike Cuomo, Jindal will assign rights to this find as soon as practicable.

$3 trillion bucks ~ I do believe the strength of the dollar is secure.

These initial reserve computations are usually only a small fraction of the amount inally recovered.

I thought the Cline Shale play was going on in west Texas.
I am surprised to see you say it is in Louisiana.

Presidential note to Congress: Seize more lands to declare as National Monuments.

Totally understandable. Maybe like some of the rest of us you no longer have enough money left over after paying everyone else to pay Attention.

"Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom Lucifer"

The above is the dedication of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. The bible in dirty tactics for today's lib/commies

"The libs would rather starve in the dark than allow us to become energy independent. you who they think is some unwashed hayseed to extract wealth from your land and potentially have a net worth higher than them even after they went to Haaavad, and that you in that position would then tell the politicans that want to put you under their thumb to go pound sand as you blow donuts with your mother Gaia defowling ATV as you blast off a few rounds from your ArR-15 as you sing "God Bless Texas"..... They can't have that...

Their fixed it.....

“I thought the Cline Shale play was going on in west Texas.

The Cline Shale is in West Texas. The entirety of the new shale oil discovery stretches from New Orleans and across Texas. There is a bit in Mississippi and a bit in New Mexico. This is all down where the refineries are...does not require a delivery system like the Keystone for the energy illiterate half-breed to stop.

Yes there’s always the chance the haloed one could go the Antiquities Act route, but it would require some historical or culturaal hook to hang that hat on. io suppose he could invoke preservation of the Swamp Men’s gator hunting grounds
or protecting the property belonging to the Cajun Porn Stars guys. I’m sure he’ll try to find some justification. All he’s got to do is catch an episode of West Wing where this is exactly what is done.
