I turn her back on the Canadian oil sands. The Bakken Oil Strata in North Dakota, Montana and South Dakota are tremendous resources within our borders.

BTW it's been estimated that we have about 100 years worth of lighnite coal which can be gasified to produce gasoline, diesel fuel, natural gas and helium with NO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT!

OIl Shale
While oil shale is found in many places worldwide, by far the largest deposits in the world are found in the United States in the Green River Formation, which covers portions of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. Estimates of the oil resource in place within the Green River Formation range from 1.2 to 1.8 trillion barrels. Not all resources in place are recoverable; however, even a moderate estimate of 800 billion barrels of recoverable oil from oil shale in the Green River Formation is three times greater than the proven oil reserves of Saudi Arabia. Present U.S. demand for petroleum products is about 20 million barrels per day. If oil shale could be used to meet a quarter of that demand, the estimated 800 billion barrels of recoverable oil from the Green River Formation would last for more than 400 years.

Come now, our policy ever since OPEC has been to pay inflated oil prices to the Arabs so we could ‘bring them into the twenty-first century’, although actually it was the twentieth century when we agreed to this.

And now that Zero is in the WH, why in the world would we want to undercut our devotion to paying blackmail to Muslims? Nobody has been honest with the American taxpayer. Nobody. And it’s appalling. Well, I understand now why honesty isn’t in the cards, it’s not PC.

When it’s on our continent and it comes from a stable source we better take advantage of it. I want to use shale, sand, coal, bio waste and anything else that makes sense.
