THE ILLUSTRATED CONSERVATIVE | LIBERALISM IS A SICKNESS, CONSERVATISM IS THE CURE: 'Massive Oil Deposit Could Increase US reserves by 10x'

I knew I should never have left North Dakota.

'Massive Oil Deposit Could Increase US reserves by 10x'
Watch out OPEC,

America is about to become a super ginormous, oil superpower.
"America is sitting on top of a super massive 200 billion barrel Oil Field that could potentially make America Energy Independent and until now has largely gone unnoticed. Thanks to new technology the Bakken Formation in North Dakota could boost America’s Oil reserves by an incredible 10 times, giving western economies the trump card against OPEC’s short squeeze on oil supply and making Iranian and Venezuelan threats of disrupted supply irrelevant...In the next 30 days the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) will release a new report giving an accurate resource assessment of the Bakken Oil Formation that covers North Dakota and portions of South Dakota and Montana. With new horizontal drilling technology it is believed that from 175 to 500 billion barrels of recoverable oil are held in this 200,000 square mile reserve that was initially discovered in 1951." -

Next Energy NewsHere's the best part, "if 200 billion barrels of oil at $90 a barrel are recovered in the high plains the added wealth to the US economy would be $18 Trillion Dollars which would go a long way in stabilizing the US trade deficit and could cut the cost of oil in half in the long run."I know many on the left will find this terrible, even catastrophic news because it will set solar, wind, and Skittle power efforts back decades, maybe even killing them outright. I say, in a loud steady voice - okay by me. That foolishness wasn't going to solve
America's energy needs, not now, not ever. So someone put the juniors, Algore,
Robert Kennedy and Ed Begley on suicide watch, "thar's (black) gold in them thar hills." I will see all of you on the barricades."Onboard High-Tech Oil Rig, U.S.
