Federal Lands Sit on Oil Deposit Bigger Than All Known Oil Reserves Co

[Guest]

President Obama and the Left like to go on about energy independence, but they won’t do anything to actually achieve it.

Solar, wind and biofuels are all technologies that aren’t ready to produce the kind of power we need to keep our country running, but the Left keeps on promoting them over technologies that are proven and available, such as nuclear, clean-burning coal and natural gas.

The biggest lie of the Left, however, is that we’re running out of oil. The exhaustion of oil reserves is the bogeyman used to scare people into wasting time and effort on dead ends like wind technology. Mixed with a heavy dose of global warming fear-mongering, lies about oil have kept us from developing our own natural resources.

Now comes a report from the General Accounting Office, an investigative arm of Congress, that a chunk of federal land known as the Green River Formation, at the juncture of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, not only contains a lot of oil, but it may contain more oil than the rest of the world’s proven reserves.

Ponder this as you pump gas into your car at $4 and up per gallon.

If we could develop just the Green River Formation, we could say goodbye to crazy Middle Eastern oil distributors, fill all our energy needs and sell the surplus to the rest of the world.

And that’s just one oil field in U.S. territory. Most of the West and East Coasts, the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska are just swimming in oil that we’re not using because of liberal hobgoblins.

Liberals like to call themselves “progressives,” yet they are anything but. Their vision of renewable energy in the 21st century would have our urban areas resembling the Flintstones’ Bedrock rather than the Jetsons’ city of the future.

I’m all in favor of wise management of resources, but “manage” can’t mean to just sit on them while the nation suffers.

Yes Richard. This IS amazing.

It's worth noting, though, that this formation is oil shale, not liquid oil, and must be mined and processed, not drilled for. That means you'd very likely be paying considerably *more* than $4 a gallon to use this oil.

Great website Bravus. And also I wonder what happen to that $5/6 gas by May/June?? Another wishful thinking gone array, I guess?

In just four days this week - gas prices have jumped by 20 cents according to my local paper. $4.59 is pushin' five dollars in my mind. And we have a number of days yet to go in just May.

Woody gas has come down nearly .30-.35 cents in most places. But yet no one has mentioned that, I wonder why? Now that doesn't mean it wont go up at some point!

I have no idea what is happening in the rest of the nation. I can only speak to what is happening in MY state. That is what matters to me. Does Obama have something against my state or what?

All things are local.

Well Woody I have to apologize, I guess you are on Obama's hit list and he's taking it out on the whole west coast.

Yes pk - I fear you are right and accept your apology.

Obama and his minions have it out for me regarding all the truth that I've proclaimed here on the Forum.

Obama has been reading what you say about him here at CA.
