Clarification: this resource, while enormous, is not the largest ever found worldwide. It is the largest directly assessed by USGS.
Fabulous, incredible news in any case, but the post may give the impression this was the largest ever worldwide.
What I always want with reports like this are comparisons to what Saudi Arabia, Iran/Iraq, and Venezuela have.
That’s what would really excite me; replacing their oil with ours, for the next 200 years. It seems those countries never run out!
How much do they have? How do discoveries like this and others compare to their reserves? That’s information I’d like to know (if anyone wants to chime in).
