Most energy resources in the world and that’s without

 including America’s shale oil deposits and, in the future, the potentially astronomic impact of methane hydrates.
 
America’s combined energy resources are, according to a new report from the Congressional Research Service (CSR), the largest on earth. They eclipse Saudi Arabia (3rd), China (4th) and Canada (6th) combined – and that’s without including America’s shale oil deposits and, in the future, the potentially astronomic impact of methane hydrates.
 
Of course that all assumes we do something about taking advantage of the resources we have and actually putting ourselves in a position where we’re not at the mercy of foreign sources of the same sorts of products.
 
Obviously and hopefully, we’ll come up with affordable and available renewable energy products while we’re doing that.
 
However, we have no coherent energy plan from this administration.
 
Meanwhile our President touts foreign oil, our investment in it and claims we’ll be its “best customer”.
 
We sit on a veritable treasure trove of natural resources which could actually make us energy independent and we have an administration which is doing everything in its power to not just keep us dependent on foreign oil, but to increase our dependence.


 
 US: Most energy resources in the world and most incoherent energy policy

this ought to be the lead story in every American paper and on every American news show.  But it’s overshadowed by Japan, Libya and other developments in the world.

I guess this is why we`re the world`s 3rd leading producer. Problem?

[sweetwater5s9]

 
The US currently imports 55% of its oil. It uses over 19.6 million barrels A DAY.
 
55% of 19,600,000 barrels is about 10,780,000 barrels of foreign oil.
 
On Wednesday it hit $105.75 per barrel.
 
10,780,000 X $105.75 X 365 = yearly cost for foreign energy just on petroleum.
 
Is that a problem?   Yes.
 

[John Adams]

It would not be a problem but for democrats and enviro whackos within the democrat party.....
 
What good does it do us to restrict our own production.....
 
In the eyes of the democrat, it furthers the agenda of destroying our country......

[August West]

It doesn`t matter if we produce more,it`s still gonna be $105 a barrel. Greedy knuckle draggers vs. environmental whackos.

[sweetwater5s9]

If we do not start producing our own oil will go up even more and US dollars will end up in foreign hands instead of paying down our debt.

One more time. We`re the world`s third(3) largest producer and the number one(1) consumer.

[Baretta19]

One more time. We`re the world`s third(3) largest producer and the number one(1) consumer.
 
And we have the ability to be the #1 producer and consumer but hey maybe not, what is conformed is liberals willingness to support "Death to America" crowd and not even willing to make the effort to get away from the strangle hold.
 
Radical muslums are actually a 3rd level threat to this country right behind socialism and liberal morons
