Could there be enough to supplement our need for middle eastern oil? What do geologists say?

International Polar Year 2007-2008 has a project to map oil reserves in the Arctic region. As of now we don't know for sure but huge amounts are not considered likely. There is no information about Antarctica and unless the ice melts there is no way to recover it if it were there.

There is some evidence to that effect, but only time will tell. At t he very least there are considerable amounts of oil there.

Oil no. Methyl hydrates yes. There is far more energy stored as methyl hydrates in deep and/or cold oceans and tundra than there is in conventional oil.

the north pole is ice floating on water
Antarctica is ice on top of Mountains and a huge inland sea
why pick those places to look for oil
lots of easier places to drill in better conditions and cheaper

Hopefully we won't need to rely on oil much longer. check out this site to see why. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUmlLqkUHd0&search=water+fuel
