The United States has largest energy reserves on Earth, according to a report from the Congressional Research Service.
As shown in the charts below, the U.S. has 1,321 billion barrels of oil (or barrels of oil equivalent for other sources of energy) when combining its recoverable natural gas, oil and coal reserves.
While Russia is a close second with 1,248 billion barrels, other energy producing nations are far behind. No. 3 is Saudi Arabia (543 billion barrels), followed by China (494 billion barrels), Iran (426 billion barrels) and Canada (221 billion barrels.)

and that doggone CO2 keeps us from using it...oh well, food stamps for everyone.
This report runs straight against rat refusal to permit energy development. The rats are leading us to economic ruin, lead by an energy meltdown.

I'm trying to stay calm, but I believe what is going on in DC is a crime, the environmentalists have held us hostage for decades.
We need some ruthless SOB leaders right now.
Hang on to it and don't use it for it's all we have to pay China back.
Doesn’t matter squat if your own Government will not even allow you to get it (resources) out of the ground !
