OIL - you better sit down.
Here's an interesting read, important
and verifiable information :
About 6 months ago, the writer was
watching a news program on oil and one of the Forbes Bros. was the
guest. The host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a direct question
and I would like a direct answer; how much oil does the U.S. have in the
ground?" Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "more than all the Middle
East put together." Please read below.
The U. S. Geological Service issued a
report in April 2008 that only scientists and oil men knew was coming,
but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since
1995) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North
Dakota, western South Dakota,
and extreme eastern Montana ......

The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska's Prudhoe
Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on
foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at
503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... at
$107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5..3
trillion.
"When I first briefed legislators on
this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no
idea.." says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst.
"This sizable find is now the
highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years," reports
The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a formation known as the Williston
Basin, but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' It stretches
from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada.. For years,
U. S. oil exploration has been considered a dead
end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells
decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up
the Bakken's massive reserves.... and we now have access of up to 500
billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of
barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!
That's enough crude to fully fuel the
American economy for 2041 years straight. And if THAT didn't throw you
on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from 2006!
U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve
in the World Stansberry Report Online -
4/20/2006
Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface
of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the
world. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President
Bush mandated its extraction. In three and a half years of high oil
prices none has been extracted. With this motherload of oil why are we
still fighting over off-shore drilling?
They reported this stunning news: We
have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on
earth. Here are the official estimates:
- 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
- 18-times as much oil
as Iraq
- 21-times as much oil as Kuwait
- 22-times as much oil as Iran
- 500-times as much oil as Yemen
- and it's all right here in the
Western United States .
HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE
extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked
all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we
are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our
economy.....WHY?
James Bartis, lead researcher with the
study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire
Middle
East -more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the
proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver
Post.
Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price
- even with this find? Think again! It's all about the competitive
marketplace, - it has to. Think OPEC just might be funding the
environmentalists?
Got your attention yet? Now, while
you're thinking about it, do this:
Pass this along. If you don't take a
little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time
you complain about gas prices - by doing NOTHING, you forfeit your right
to complain.

Now I just wonder what would happen in
this country if every one of you sent this to every one in your address
book.
By the way...this is all true. Check
