“With only 2% of the world’s oil reserves, we can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices”
– Barack Obama 2010
Like every other time Obama opens his mouth, he is lying about US oil reserves.
… the figure Obama uses—proved oil reserves—vastly undercounts how much oil the U.S. actually contains. In fact, far from being oil-poor, the country is awash in vast quantities—enough to meet all the country’s oil needs for hundreds of years.
Why is Obama Lying About US Oil Reserves?
..that’s about 3 1/2 trillion
Just a drop in the bucket of what AlGore needs!
And we can’t get past the problem of 568 degrees F when drilling deep bore holes.
We’ve hit 7.2 & 7.4 mile depths using conventional approaches. What in the hell are we funding bird snuffing wind energy and periodic use solar when we have an infinite source of energy in every single spot on this planet, right beneath us!
Going green has nothing to do with finding or producing energy!
That’s not even close. We have 1.5 trillion barrels of kerogen in the piceance basin alone. That is 1 million barrels a day for the next 4000 years.
22 billion bbls at 100 million bbls a day demand will last 6 years.
If we can find the 400 billion bbls of oil you talk about it will last 120 years, thats if we can find them.
You also must remember that once oil gets scarce the governments and military will begin to protect the oil and will not let the general public have access to it.
Thanks for pointing the realities of the oil shortage facing this planet.
My mistake I used world oil demand,
22 billion bbls at 20 million bbls a day U.S. demand will last 30 years.
I worked for an oil company for 25 years and I would like to know where you are going to find the 400 million bbls of oil reserves, National Parks, oil platforms on all our coast, the rest of Alaska.
Maybe while your at it you can also polute our great lakes which make 20% of the fresh water in the world with hydro-fracking for natural gas.
You also must remember that once oil gets scarce the governments and military will begin to protect the oil and will not let the general public have access to it.

Is this you?
“Smart Electrical Grid – Allows us to sell back very small amounts of electricity as individuals back to the grid. This technology will only be important in small parts of the planet where we don’t have the ability to generate a huge amount of electricity.
Instead we should be concentrating on how we are going to deal with the ability to generate 500 gigawatts of power in one location.
How do you let the world know with total humility you have solved 4 of the 5 major problems facing man-kind.
A. Climate change B. Powering the Planet C. Water shortages
D. Food shortages – partially solved E. Population control – still to be solved
I don’t have the ability to bring the major nations of the world together to bring cheap and abundant energy to the world. I need your help!!!!!”

If not, be glad, because this guy is an insane alarmist. 😉
The amount of natural gas untapped and partially tapped in Alaska’s north slope alone, massively exceeds the easy money crude we’re scanning now. Previous Worldwide VLF/ELF flyby’s were so enormous and successful (from 1983-2008), that their flight demands have dropped to nearly zero.
Potential Worldwide coastal taps = 1.9 thousand times the number Steven listed above, but that news cannot hit the press because it represents a 16 billion human population with every single one of them reaping the rewards to boil their water, heat their homes and drive their cars for 20,855 years, uninterrupted.
Or 5,000 years for the EcoWarriors that want you to restrict your use of those fuels, so there is more for them.
We must do the right thing and conserve energy, because it will run out soon! 😉
If you plan on hydro-fracking for natural gas below the ocean floor good luck – So now your saying we should polute the oceans, great lakes, – What kind of a world do you want to live in?????
Who’s paying you!!!!!!!!
No one is paying us. The Democratic governor of Colorado drank a glass of fracking fluid last week to shut the imbeciles up.
