Subject: this is outrageous!!
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 ..... check THIS out:
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, US 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!

US 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 were to send this to every one in your address book.
