Well we need to pay China back with something. Might as well be this deposit.

Don’t worry. Kim Jong Obama will whip off an executive order in a matter of days to ensure not a drop of oil flows out of here.

Looks like a little truck based *work over* rig, they can't be going deep with that thing.
The type of rig our crews would say, "The driller shows up in the morning, puts a quarter in a slot and it cranks up".

And of the Obamadork and his den-O-idiots try to stop it, the intelligent western states should just secede (e.g, California wouldn’t secede.)
We’d be worth more than the entire area of blue sceptic areas that voted for that excrement pile, that mass of putrescence, that odious collection of nothingness, that......(you get the point.)

Rifle, Colorado is where Exxon first tried pulling oil from shale using what was described as “radiation extraction.”
The process was; dig up the shale and crush it down to 4 inch chunks. Hit it with radiation to make the oil come out. The 4 inch chunks were now 6 inch chunks. Re-stack the chunks and call the Sierra Club.

A perfect reason for Sarah Palin to be our next President. I hope she’s building up her knowledge of the oil industry for the next four years.

I got a nice 10 point mule deer not more than a mile from that site.
Nothing out there but dirt, rock, sage and small pines.

3 trillion barrels of oil would cover the entire state of Utah with over 9 feet of oil.
That’s a lot of oil.

So we have the means to defund Al-Queda and its backers. Lets see what both sides of the aisle do. I bet there will not be much difference.

And there are significant environmental obstacles. So what? I don't care one bit. But Zero and his minions will use this as another excuse to stymie domestic energy production.
Drill baby drill! Frack baby frack!
I was able to easily forgive Nixon for Watergate. His real crime was the creation of the vile EPA.

I suspect there are many similar reserves around the world. These are as yet unexplored or incompletely explored because they were not considered recoverable until recently. The US may not be a bit exceptional, other than in having had more applicable exploration done - so far. This will certainly change and great new finds will become commonplace. If so, natural gas and petroleum will be local local resources, more similar to hydro or coal, and not global concerns.

Between Obama’s no energy policies and never ending environmentalist law suits we should live so long as to see any significant oil taken from this area. Instead we will waste billions blighting the land with worthless windmills and solar arrays while gasoline soars to over $5 per gallon and average Americans are shivering or sweltering in darkened homes because they can barely afford electricity.
