After  reading this , maybe it's time to start asking Congress why they are 
willing to  spend so much money?
Perhaps they know something we  haven't been aware of.
See  below and read with  interest.





 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


















     
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,  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.
