There’s Enough Oil & Gas for the U.S. to be Self-Sufficient in the Near Future… Let’s Start Today
There’s more oil in the United States than in the entire Middle East. We know where much of it is and we know it can be recovered at current prices. What we have is richer than the Alberta, Canada Tar Sands and we can use similar processes to recover it. We have the reserves to supply our needs with no decline curves for maybe 200 years.
The Oil Shale reserves of the U.S. are just a part of the oil and gas trapped in the United States and could produce trillions of barrels of the fuel that runs the world’s economic engine. We don’t need a government program. We need the government to get out of the way, to allow the private sector build the machine that will take us away from the terrorist threats.
In the mean time we can drill in Alaska, offshore Gulf of Mexico and the Over Thrust Belts or we can be black mailed by the likes of some tin horned dictators on the other side of the world.
