The Bakken is mostly oil shale. Less than 1% is produeable by drilling and pumping. Most will require retorting the shale.
That said, the less than 1% has already made North Dakota the 4th largest state in oil production.

Here's an official government link to the
Green River Formation that contains some 1.5 trillion barrels (in shale).

In ND (the only state of the union to show an INCREASE in jobs), operators have been reporting completions in the Three Forks and Sanish formations, that are almost equivalent to the Bakken Shales. Both formations are in very close proximity, depth wise, to the Bakken.

The Bakken field is mostly oil shale. The amount that can be pumped directly without retorting the shale is estimated at 4.3 billion barrels. The Three Forks field lies beneath that and also has some pumpable oil. Thanks. We often hear politicians say that energy is a matter of national defense, but they never put that into practice. I guess the environmental extremists keep many plans tangled up in court, but we should be developing recovery techniques for all these deposits of crude, shale and all others, and with tax and other incentives to work in the more difficult areas such as shale. And we should be exploring all offshore waters and promising inland areas.
Not even to mention the enormous new natural gas fields discovered, to add to the huge amount of natural gas we've already found in the US.
Maybe if enough Dims are removed from Congress and the WH in 2010 and 2012, the US can begin to pursue a policy that develops all promising energy sources (and stop using food crops for fuel).

You havent answered my question.I did, you apparently don't like the answer. That isn't my problem.
Please explain exactly what is tainted about what they have posted.Do your own legwork...
snopes debunkedBetter get started early, there's plenty of their BS to wade through.
And if you don't know anything about
Annenberg and Mr. Dunham then you've been living under a rock.

It is your problem because absolutely nothing that you said has anything to do with OIL!

It isn't my problem because, unlike you, I know better than to use two liberal websites as a source for anything!

You really are showing your ignorance because my source was
the USGS. On top of that, you continue to make claims that there is something wrong with the other two links that I posted, yet so far you have been unable to discredit a single statement on either page. All you can say is that that they are owned by liberal people, so what they say is untrue. How can you be so completely ignorant?

You're the one who is completely ignorant now because you're trying to conflate the two.
...you continue to make claims that there is something wrong with the other two links that I posted...
I sure am. That you don't know that both of those sites are unreliable is telling.
...so far you have been unable to discredit a single statement on either page.
I don't need to. Their reputation precedes them.

I said they don't perform their due diligence.
How can you be so completely ignorant?
How can you be so completely obtuse?

You still haven’t been able to debunk anything that I have said. Too bad! Keep trolling...
