Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world - more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. Three companies have been chosen to lead the way. Test drilling has already begun

Dear Reader,

Five months ago, the U.S. Energy Department announced the results of a land survey

It was conducted to determine the official amount of oil a thousand feet deep in the Rocky Mountains

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.

James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says, “We’ve got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East.”

Answer 3

The oil reserves are there for a real emergency like if there have been no more effective oil available. no longer merely because the charges are intense. If we use the reserves merely to diminish expenditures, what is going to happen at the same time as they're lengthy previous. it is going to easily postpone the inevitable.

Answer 4

US oil reserves should never be used unless we're in a real war and the supply is cut off.

If our largest suppliers in the Middle East and Venuezuela suddenly stopped shipments, the US is in trouble.

So.. the reserves should only be used in a real emergency, and not just to reduce the gas prices by 15 cents.

Answer 5

not nearly enough to last us more than a year - we rely too much on the unstable mining conditions in the middle east to ever compete with them as far as oil reserves are concerned. americans really need to use less oil in case something happens where the government really needs to use our oil. i think each american should be personally limited to their own oil consumption.

Answer 6

don't believe cnn. we may have 10 yrs supply in our strategic oil reserve, however, there is no definate answer to that question, because geologists still discover new oil wells.
we are not going to run out, stop letting the terrorists in the media win.

Answer 7

Not enough, or we wouldn't call is a "reserve." If we had a referendum I would vote not to touch it unless there were an absolute, dire necessity -- not just to lower prices. We can always cut down on our driving, but we need heat in January up here in the NE.

Answer 8

If I remeber correctly they had this on CNN. The united states has about 10yrs worth of oil.

About 2 and a half gallons. And there is a few drops in my old truck.

Answer 10
