What can we do as Americans --- Anyone with an answer?
Subject: OIL
This is an eye opener. Read it or don’t complain as the price of fuel goes up and up and we continue to pay billions to overseas providers.
OIL!
As you may know, Cruz Construction started a division in North Dakota...just 6 months ago.
They sent every Kenworth (9 trucks) we had here (in
Alaska) to North Dakota, and several drivers.
They just bought two new Kenworth's to add to that fleet; one being a Tri Drive tractor, and a new 65 ton lowboy to go with it.
They also bought two new cranes (one crawler & one rubber
tired) for that division.
Dave Cruz said they have moved more rigs in the last 6 months in ND, than Cruz Construction moved in Alaska in the last 6 years!
Williston, ND is like a gold rush town; they moved one of our 40-man camps down there...since there are no rooms available.
Unemployment in ND is the lowest in the nation...at 3.4 percent, last I checked.
See anything in the national news about how the oil industry is fueling North Dakota's economy?
Here's an astonishing read. Important and verifiable
information:
About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil, and one of the Forbes Bros. was the guest.
The host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a direct question, and I would like a direct answer;
How much oil does the U.S. Have in the ground?" Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "more thanall the Middle East put together."
The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008, that only scientists and oil men knew was coming...but man, was it big!!
It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, Western SouthDakota, and extreme eastern Montana.
Check THIS out:
The Bakken...is the largest domestic oil discoverysince Alaska's Prudhoe Bay, and...has the potential to eliminate ALL American dependence onforeign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at...503 billionbarrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable (5 billion barrels). At $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base...worth more than $5.3 trillion.
"When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor.
"They had no idea." says Terry Johnson...the Montana Legislature's financial analyst.
"This sizable find is now the highest-producingonshore oil field found in the past 56 years"... reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
It's a formation...known as the Williston Basin, but is more commonly referred to as...the 'Bakken.'
It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada.
For years, U. S. Oil exploration has been considered a dead end.
Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells...decades ago.
However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves,
and we now have access of up to 500 billionbarrels.
And...because this is light, sweet oil,
those billions of barrels will cost Americans...just $16 PER BARREL!
That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for
2041 years straight !!!!
And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from 2006 !
U.S. Oil Discovery - Largest Reserve in the World
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 TRILLIONbarrels. 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 off- shore drilling???
They reported this stunning news:
We have more oil inside our borders...than all the other proven reserves on earth.
Here are the officialestimates:
8 timesas much oil as Saudi Arabia
18 timesas much oil as Iraq
21 timesas much oil as Kuwait
22 timesas much oil as Iran
500 timesas much oil as Yemen
And it's all right here...in the Western UnitedStates! 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. WHY?
Follow the money:A lot of so-called "environmentalists"...are paid by big business. If the price of oil drops, the oil companies stand to loose a lot of money...who is paying for those protesters?
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 2TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than...all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the worldtoday... reports The Denver Post.
Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price even with this find? Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace...it has to!!
Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?
Got your attention yet? Now, while you're thinking about it...do this:
Pass this along. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you complain about gas prices, by doing NOTHING...you forfeit your right to complain.
Now, I just wonder what would happen in this country, if everyone of you sent this to every one in your address book.
By the way, this can be verified. Check it out at the link

Today, I went to my storage space and brought back several boxes. At this point, the boxes are still in the truck. Tomorrow, I’ll start bringing them in and sorting through them, i.e., if my back will take it. I’m sort of planning to see Adam Sandler’s new movie Jack and Jill where he plays both Jack and Jill (Jack’s twin). I imagine it will be funny.
Well, time to get to bed. It’s already dark.
