" Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world — more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. Three companies have been chosen to lead the way. Test drilling has already begun…"

i call :bs:

 

load of shit. they're trying to convince suckers to invest..

 

as F***ed up as it is, there a lot of politicians and bussiness people who are against domestic oil drilling, not because of environmental issues, but so when the shit hits the fan we'll have a ton of oil, and everyone else will be out because the've been selling it to us for 100 years.

 

Uh hey guys this is actually true. Do some research on it before you call BS, there are several official government documents in PDF format that discuss this oil reserve.

The reason it hasn't been tapped before now is that the oil price hasn't been high enough to turn a profit. But now it is. Same with the oil sands in Alberta.

 

When the House does this...

House Votes to Keep Offshore Drilling Ban

I seriously doubt it.

So the next time you go to the pump and pay $3+ per gallon blame your Representatives.

 

bush owned an oil company he couldnt find oil. so i call him finding oil under rocky mountains is BS too :P :fawk:

wait arent the rocky mountains state parks? jsut how bush administration wanted to drill in alaska where its federally protected land? :ghey:

 

We should NOT be looking for more oil at this point. We should be spending money on developing alternative, renewable sources of power. Oil is NOT an unlimited resource. Digging for even more now will do nothing but postpone our eventual switch to a different souce of power. If we do it now, maybe we will save some environmental damage, not to mention the fact that we can become less reliant on the Middle East.

 

Congratulations, you are smarter than 95% percent of America. Unfortunately, polititians do not fall into your category so we are still fucked.

 

Actually...%95 of america......What do you think your hand moisterizer is mostly made out of? What do you think Plastic is made out of? Sure, we can find an energy replacement, but what can be used to replace your tupperware, panels on your car, moisterizer for you skin, lip gloss, sun screen, shoes, elastic, anything that petroleum is used in?
