Last week I saw a video Clip where Michelle Bachman, a GOP presidential candidate, said she would strive to have $2.00 a gallon gasoline for Americans again. On a separate clip, there was some progressive commentator saying that Michelle Bachman is nuts, that there will never, ever again be $2.00 p/g for Americans.
To that I replied thus on a public discourse:
Subject: American OIL - Best to be sitting down when you read this.
As you may know, Cruz Construction started a division in North Dakota just six months ago. They sent every Kenworth (9 trucks) they had in Alaska to North Dakota along with several drivers. They just bought two new Kenworth’s to add to that fleet; one being a Tri Drive tractor and a new 65 ton lowboy to go with it. They also bought two new cranes (one crawler & one rubber tired) for that division. Dave Cruz said they have moved more rigs in the last 6 months in ND than Cruz Construction moved in Alaska in the last 6 years. Williston is like a gold rush town; they moved one of their 40 man camps down there since there are no rooms available. Unemployment in ND is the lowest in the nation at 3.4 percent. Have you seen anything in the national news about how the oil industry is fueling North Dakota’s economy? Nope! Not a single mention.
Here's an astonishing read. Important and verifiable information:
About six months ago, this 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."
The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only scientists and oil men knew was coming. It was big! It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil is in the area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota, and extreme eastern Montana.
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 (5 billion barrels), 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 an average of just $16 PER BARREL! To put that dollar amount in perspective, the oil we import from the OPEC nations today is around $85.00 to $110.00 per barrel.

That's enough energy resource to fully fuel the American economy for over 2,000 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 estimated to be 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?
Understanding that the last big oil rig disaster that happened in the gulf of Mexico could very well have been caused by sabotage, despite what the media reports tell us, why risk drilling off shore and risk disasters, whether accidental or intentional, that affect so many people and wild sea life, and eco systems etc., when there is so much to be had on shore, within our own boarders?
Obama has already allowed our oil drilling sea rigs to go work off the coast of Brazil, having banned them from the coast of the USA, so why not go for our inland resources, especially when we have the technology and know how to access them without damaing the environment, and leaving it as nice as we found it after we are done. So if environmentalists are truly concerned about protecting our environment, it is a non issue now. Proof of this claim can be found in Utah, where there are many natural gas wells that are practically invisible to the average person hiking around the wilderness, they have been so well covered over by natural vegetation and other wilderness qualities. You would never know any drilling ever took place there.
We need to extract what he have and get our economy going again, boost our national security by cutting off our total dependence on foreign oil and then use the prosperity of our boosted economy to develop strong alternative non polluting fuel sources like hydrogen for one example.
This stunning reported news: We have more oil inside our American 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 Progressives and their environmentalist cohorts and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! This is tantamount to traitorous activity! Anything that would compromise the national security of our nation is traitorous. Blocking the way to be independent on our energy resources opens us up to defeat by our enemies. 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, reportsThe 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 progressive environmentalists? Cannot prove it, but would not doubt it.
