Check out North Dakota oil development. Evidently there could be 500 billion barrels of oil there. Because of the cost of drilling there, they’ve just started to tap into the fields.

I live in the middle of the Barnett Shale. I've got one of the better paying factory jobs in our area. Friends have quit there and gone to work in the oil(really gas) patch for more money, better benefits and job security.
