Stansberry Report Online – 4/20/2006

Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels.   On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction.  In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this mother load of oil why are we still fighting over offshore drilling? They reported this stunning news:  We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates:
- 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
- 18-times as much oil as Iraq
- 21-times as much oil as Kuwait
- 22-times as much oil as Iran
- 500-times as much oil as Yemen
- and it’s all right here in the Western United States .
HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy!

Up until just recently, the primary opposition to our development of these vast oil resources, was the now thoroughly debunked “global warming” scam. It is an interesting side note, that those environmental extremists are being funded, at least in part, by guess who? The Arab oil-producing nations, and I wonder why!
“We the People”, of the United States of America, own enough oil to sustain our Nation for well over a thousand years! And, with such abundance, there is no reason why we cannot have cheap energy, as well as abundant energy. As a matter of fact, the United States could become the world’s price-setter for crude oil. That’s correct, we could replace OPEC as the top-producer! Much of the oil money that we send to those sheikdoms is being used to fund terrorist activities against us, and that is insanity!
Considering the condition of our economy, just imagine how many new jobs would be created if “We the People” decided to go after all of the abundant energy resources that we own right here in this Nation: oil, natural gas, and coal! We put a man on the moon; we can certainly design a process that will make the burning of fossil fuels cleaner! Certainly we should continue to pursue alternative energy sources, but let no one fool you, solar and wind energy are not the answer, at least not yet! Neither of those is economically produced in sufficient quantities to offset our reliance on fossil fuels. This economy (a capitalist economy), if it survives Obama’s attempt to destroy it, runs on fossil fuel! Obama’s solution to the “energy crisis” (a false crisis considering what we own right here), is to tax our use of energy until we cannot afford it! It was Obama who said that he wanted our energy costs to “skyrocket”, his word, not mine! It was Obama who said that he would “bankrupt” the coal industry, once again, his word, not mine! And, it is Obama’s Energy Secretary, a Mr. Chu, who said that he wants gasoline to go to $8.00 per gallon, once again, his words, not mine!
And, none of that is necessary, the reasoning behind such draconian efforts has been proven to be a lie, global warming is a lie!
If “We the People” go after those resources, thousands of new jobs will be created, and many existing (and now struggling) businesses and industries will be reinvigorated! How many geologists will it take to plot those fields? How many engineers will it take to devise the methodology for extraction of those resources? How many refineries will need to be built, and staffed, and who will supply the steel and concrete and piping that are necessary to construct them? How many oilrigs will be erected, who will staff them, and who will sell that equipment? Will new pipelines be needed, and who will sell and erect them? How about trucks and trains for shipping supplies and recovered resources? How about new roads? I see this one thing giving an immeasurable boost to this lagging economy!
But, we can’t have OUR OIL, OUR NATURAL GAS, AND OUR COAL, because Obama and his socialist Congress don’t want this Nation to get back on its feet! It is time to DEMAND that “We the People” be allowed to enjoy the resources that “We the People” own, by birthright! That’s how I see it!
