Why are we so quick to deplete our own oil supplies? I saw we should be selfish. Use the worlds resources and save ours. That makes sense to me.

Because the Green River oil reserve is at least as big as the entire known world's reserves of oil

Recoverable at 1 trillion barrels with current technology.

Estimated total is 3 trillion barrels

Google "USGA Green River Formation" for maps and info.

Are they planning on putting oil wells on golf courses? ;)

I think you meant USGS.
