We Need More "SUSTAINABLE" Energy
 

OIL PRICES HAVE RISEN 133% SINCE OBAMA TOOK OFFICE.

GAS PRICES HAVE RISEN 70.4% SINCE OBAMA TOOK OFFICE.

THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS NOW $3.80 A GALLON.



The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) worked with the North Dakota Geological Survey and other experts to study the Bakken Formation in North Dakota and Montana ...
we have more oil in America than in the entire Middle East.

The Department of Interior believes that North Dakota and Montana have an estimated 3 to 4.3 billion barrels of recoverable oil in this area,
and it could be extracted at an approximate cost to Americans of only $16 a barrel. Oil is now over $100.

Studies indicate there may be more than one trillion barrels of oil in oil shale, a type of sedimentary rock found in Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado's Western Slope.
THAT IS NEARLY THREE TIMES THE RESERVES IN SAUDI ARABIA.

The USGS also predicts that there are up to 16 billion barrels of oil in Alaska's ANWR region.


More windmills. We need more windmills.
And solar panels too.

a more pressing need could be..."we need a sustainable national budget!"

Re: We Need More "SUSTAINABLE" Energy
 

lol no crap,

there are alot of wind farms going up around here tho, were prolly gonna somehow sell it to china tho haha

Re: We Need More "SUSTAINABLE" Energy
 

They probably bought them from China.

Re: We Need More "SUSTAINABLE" Energy
 

Probably came from GE- so yeah we did pay for them!

So what about these vast oil reserves of ours?

What? Gas prices went from $1.60 ('01) to $3.00 ('08)? That's almost 100%! :eek:

Bakken oil reserves?

...2 to 4.1B bbls estimated recoverable oil in the Bakken vs U.S. oil consumption of 19M bbls/day (gasoline 9M bbls/day, or 378,000,000 gallons per DAY): 2-4.1B/19M = 105-216 days... right?

Wanna take a victory lap around the U.S. for 6 months worth of oil? :rolleyes:

Where'd you find the $16/bbl cost shatto? A reputable source? Care to share? Inquiring minds want to know.
