At least 1,300,000,000,000 barrels of recoverable oil just in the Green River Formation. You add the Bakken, Eagle Ford and our coal reserves and we can tell the rest of the world can go suck an egg for several hundred years. (Won't happen as long as we have “Rats” and “GOP-e” running things.)

The agenda of all our leaders,Republican or Democrat,vary only in the pace to which they achieve totalitarianism.

The United States also has 440,000
tons of thorium-232 that when used in
liquid fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR) nuclear reactors could power the US electric energy needs for several
thousand years.
Also, don't forget American companies are leading the world in researching the use of oil-laden algae to make motor fuels. We're on the verge of making breakthroughs that could result in gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil and kerosene being made from a renewable resource; once that happens, the whole idea of peak oil will no longer have any meaning. Sorry, OPEC.
