It is what it is-- we need 2 conserve energy and build a green economy that won't blow out, collapse or pollute us all to hell: the writing's on the wall: Gulf Coast wildlife, fishing and tourism gone to hell, climate "wierding" getting wierder, more kids with asthma, oceans acidifying, oil-spill and blow-out "dead-zones"-- not to mention the blood spilled for oil Gen. Anderson has witnessed. if we care about our kids' future, we need senate to invest in sustainable energy now.
Stupid BUMS that think they can control the climate!!!!!! THE CLIMATE CHANGES EVERY FREAKING MILLI SECOND!!!!!!!!!!! ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP CLIMATE CHANGE!!!!!!!! ITS A HOAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@the82spartans But you realize that all the oil reserves we have can not sustain our economy, right? US oil reserves peaked in the 1970's and have been falling ever since. Our only real option is to get off foreign oil and onto wind, solar and nuclear.
@robhoneycutt -- Our US oil reserves can sustain us for 30 years or more. In the 1920's, the 'experts' said we would run out of oil by now.
US oil reserves are just that, oil in reserve. I'm talkin' oil untaped...still in the ground.
I agree with finding a better replacement but let's not put the cart in front of the horse. Did you know the US had not built one new gasoline refinery since the 1970s?
@robhoneycutt -- Hmmm. I know of a large reserve of oil found on the border between North and South Dakota.... which was discovered about 2007. They estimate was along the lines of another Saudi Arabia.
That may not be true... but that is a lot of oil. Also...consider that the 'reserves' are in land deemed by Congress as 'available for production'... so ANWAR won't be considered, for example.
@the82spartans I believe that is the Bakken oil field. That was the news as it was initially was reported. Later the USGS released estimates that the Bakken reserve was likely only about 5% technically recoverable. Of course that didn't get the same press as the initial discovery.
At one point it was estimated at 167 bbl. then the USGS report put it at about 3 bbl "because the Bakken shale has generally low porosity and low permeability, making the oil difficult to extract."
I believe the USGS number stands as the current estimate.
@robhoneycutt -- Yes, I figured as much. With today's technology. Remember that 'sweet crude' takes less refinement.
Shale or sand complicates the issue but in end it is a viable source of oil... the free market could make it more valuable if the Fed got out of the way. Never, and I mean never underestimate the entrepreneur or free enterprise.
Again, not ONE new oil refinery in over 40 years. What? Who is scared of innovation and why?
@the82spartans Actually, I would counter that the oil industry has benefited greatly from the government's involvement. They get huge tax breaks that new energy sources don't currently get. But I'm not of the opinion that we can trust the free market the way oil companies want to exercise it. We also need protection for the citizens of our fine nation. I'm not for having gulf oil spills all over the country on an ongoing basis.
@robhoneycutt - Yes the oil companies take the risk and the (tax) reward on the revenue side. The supply side? The Fed Gov'ment has been taxing the cr*p out of petrol-chemicals & the bureaucracy is worse.
Why does exploration cost so much? Because of US Congress made it so. Who benefits from big oil? Many of the shareholders as they make bank on it including pension funds, so what's the beef?
One spill is too many... but look at history & history of deep water drilling. Excellent.
@the82spartans Don't forget that Canada, our number one source of oil, is projected to his peak production in the next 5 to 10 years according to Canada's National Energy Board. We hit peak oil in the early 1970's.
@robhoneycutt -- We have not reached our self serving interests of oil production nor refinement, nor research in fossil or 'alternative' fuels.
Right now... it is what is is. We need gasoline and diesel fuel. No leadership in Washington DC so now what? Blame game or facts on the ground? I vote facts.

there is no money in free fuel, its why Tesla was thrown to the gutter after taken advantage of him and his other inventions in order to suck people dry of money and make them power hungry. the rich and powerful want to stay rich and powerful, when people realize this theyll see the truth in everything.
We live in an age of propoganda and lies. The American people, they believe, have been dumbed down enough to absorb this nonsense. Want to end dependence on foreign oil ? Get rid of the Department of Energy and elect officials who promise not to accpet big oil contributions. Lastly. Get the government out of the way of picking winners and losers in the free market.

5% 'technically recoverable'. Hmmmm. Source?
Also, does that term refer to 'sweet crude oil'? All I know is Dickensen, N.D. is a boom town, as Gillete Wy. was for fossil based fuels.
Did you know the number one nation we import oil from is Canada?
