Here We Go Again

And to think that we are sitting on more oil than anywhere in the world. A friend from work sent me this information :

8x as much oil as Saudi Arabia
18x as much oil as Iraq
21x as much oil as Kuwait
22x as much oil as Iran
500x as much oil as Yemen

And it's all right here in the Western U.S.

James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East- more than 2 trillion barrels untapped.

That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports the Denver Post.
