I heard today on Hannities program an AP article about oil reserves in America being more the the Saudis!!
Can anyone point me to that direction??

I also want a bumper sticker that reads
IF YOU LOVE $3 A GALLON FOR GAS, THANK A TREE HUGGER!!

[piasa]

Um... one more time, in English?

[xrp]

Was this on his radio show? His radio show cycles every 3 hours on hannity.com until the next show airs.

[MarkeyD]

Here you go

[Bahbah]

Don't know about Hannity, but I heard elsewhere today that Canada's were greater than the Saudis.

[Peace will be here soon]

Huh, don`t count on getting to it anytime soon.

"The United States has significant oil shale resources, primarily within the Green River Formation in Wyoming, Utah and Colorado. These oil shale resources underlie a total area of 16,000 square miles and represent the largest known concentration of oil shale in the world. Federal lands comprise roughly 72% of the total oil shale acreage in the Green River Formation."

I heard today on Hannities program an AP article about oil reserves in America being more the the Saudis!! Can anyone point me to that direction??

Saudi reserves are about 261 billion barrels. U.S. reserves are less than a 10th of that, about 22 billion barrels.

why not just THANK A DEMOCRAT or insert the name of your favorite Democrat who voted against drilling in ANWAR

OIL SHALE

If a technology can be developed to economically recover oil from oil shale, the potential is tantalisingly enormous. If the containing organic material could be converted to oil, the quantities would be far beyond all known conventional oil reserves. Oil shale in great quantities exists worldwide: including in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Estonia, France, Russia, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and the USA.

The term "oil shale" is a misnomer. It does not contain oil nor is it commonly shale. The organic material is chiefly kerogen, and the "shale" is usually a relatively hard rock, called marl. Properly processed, kerogen can be converted into a substance somewhat similar to petroleum. However, it has not gone through the "oil window" of heat (nature’s way of producing oil) and therefore, to be changed into an oil-like substance, it must be heated to a high temperature. By this process the organic material is converted into a liquid, which must be further processed to produce an oil which is said to be better than the lowest grade of oil produced from conventional oil deposits, but of lower quality than the upper grades of conventional oil.

Here's the deal:
There is enough low sulphur coal in Wyoming and Montana to last us at our current usage at least 200 yeare.

Oil and Gas:
Unknown offshore California, Texas, Louisiana, Alaska ETAL but LOTS
Southern Utah, where Clintoon declared it a non drilling national park. Another San Juan Basin / Permian Basin
Eastern Utah, Colorado, Wyoming Oil Shale in the millions of tons.
ANWAR, No one really knows, but if the dems and enviros would allow us to develop it, anyone's guess but the best money sez LOTS and LOTS.

We are really like the man freezing to death while he is sitting on a mountain of coal.

The United States Office of Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves estimates the world supply of oil shale at 1662 billion barrels of which 1200 billion barrels is in the United States [1]. This is comparable to the amount of reserves of conventional oil.

There was a thread about it a few days ago. Search under 'shale oil'.

As for oil....

>>> Saudi reserves are about 261 billion barrels. U.S. reserves are less than a 10th of that, about 22 billion barrels.

He might have been referring to the U.S. oil reserves tied up in shale, which are estimated to be about one trillion barrels, or the equivalent of all worlds oil reserves extractable by conventional methods. I did not listen to Hannity's program today, so I am only speculating.

Sreve Forbes says the real reason is Speculators and the bubble will burst and prices will plummet

[76834]

Are your figures proven reserves and do they take in account things that could be done?
Alberta tar sands, oil shale, coal conversion etc?
